| I suspect it takes weeks, month to get new parts. If it’s not a high rpm bearing, kept in grease, watched for heat. It might limp them along until a new bearing is delivered.
I have a screenings box. Bought it 40 years ago. +100 miles from home. A 220 bu gravity box on 10 ton trailer.I got @8 miles and 3 of the 4 bearings were HOT. “Crap, crap, crap” pop off 4th *others were a bit hot*
Dry, rusted. Put cheap grease, @2 tablespoons 89/90 gear lube in cap, slammed on. Did same to other 3. *when cool enough* 40 miles later flush out with dsl fuel. Using oil squirt can. Grease, 80/90. Drove home bearings cool. *ok outside but you know* I have used that box for years. Mostly in yard, but a few trips to town fully loaded behind pickup. Not a hint of issue from bearings.
Firstbyears ticked I forgot to order bearings. Now “glad I didn't waste time, money”. I have greased them once in 20 years since. Big boxes 2x a year. *but zerks so super easy* | |
