I saw JD hay crimper listed in the paper today at what I think is a good price. It says that it needs bearing. I am not sure what model or how old it is. I am not sure how many bearings and which ones, and what damage may have been done if the failed under use. If there is no other damage done, are bearings going to be expensive or difficult to replace.

What model is it? Orignal had no model also called no. 1 with 12" tires, chain only drove one roll? No 21 with full size tires and drive to both rolls? 22 with extra wide ribs on rolls, latest, did not do a very good job of crimping? Earlier models with the narrow ribs did a lot better job of crimping but the one with the chain on only one roller was verry noisy. Then there is the 31 with one rubber and one ribbid steel roll called a crusher with the others called a crimper

A crimper is going to have two main rollers (4 bearings) and another bearing at the end of the shaft that comes out of the gearbox. If the inner race is still there, the shaft should not be damaged, and repair is pretty straight forward- like paul says, sometimes easy, sometimes not. If the outer race is shot, perhaps the flangettes that hold it are also shot. Flangettes are a few bucks for each half. I normally torch out the old bearings. I find it easier to torch out those that have already lost their balls- more room to work in. Need care when working next to the shaft, but I've never ruined a shaft with a torch. Nicked, yes, but not ruined. Clean up the shaft with some emory cloth before installing new. Bearing races are brittle steel- they don't tolerate a BFH. Rotate the locking collar in the direction of shaft rotation- just snug, not excessive.

I have no idea on your particular implement.

I've replaced 50-100 bearing on the combines, balers, etc. One day it will go easy, the next time I end up cutting them off with a torch after fighting with a difficult to reach shaft for 1/2 a day. In theory it should go pretty easy, but I own a lot of hammers, a torch, several wheel pullers, and the like. :)

Cost is $5 - 30 depending on how big & what type, I generally go to the NAPA or other bearing supply store in town. There is a number stamped on the side of most all bearings to identify them.
