How many of you would put an old bearing back on if you had the assembly apart to replace another part?
Twice this fall I had to replace a bad bearing on the combine.
Both times there was another bearing that had to be remove to get to the bad bearing.
One took 30 minutes to get apart and and rebuild. The new bearings were about $30 each.
The other took about 2 hours with 2 guys to remove and replace the bearing. These bearings were a throw out type bearing and cost $95 a piece.
In both instances I replaced both bearings.
Do you reuse removed good bearings or do you replace with new?
I almost always replace with new. Learned my lesson on this one time when I replaced a disc gang bearing. Bearings were high and I thought I would save the $50 bucks.
Two days later I had to tear that gang apart to replace the other bearing. Swore I would never do that again and I haven"t.
