I agree, put the new bearing in while you got it apart.
I've seen my fair share of half baked repairs but never what you describe! LOL saw my BIL replace a shaft on his combine because a paddle chain broke. About 10 hours worth of labor with him and my nephew + 600 dollars worth of new parts.........and he puts the the same chain back in it. 4 hours in the field and he's in buying a new paddle chain and another new shaft! Farmers of yesteryears were a bunch that would do anything to save a penny and did some really messed up repairs. I remember seeing guy blance tractors on 55 gallon oil drums during a split to save labor or the cost of building decent stands. Worked for one guy who put a 560 IH back together with a new clutch and a bad IPTO shaft because he wasn't going to replace that shaft till it wasn't working at all. So about 2 months later we had to split the tractor again. 2 others guys I worked for, one in MN and one in KS both had equipment wired together.....and they both owned welders but didn't know how to use em!
But I also had a kid who was on my tank crew who couldn't figure out why he had to keep putting front wheel bearing in his car. He didn't know that there was an inner and outer and was just packing the outers!
