Mid-Missouri | If the shaft isn't worn too much, clean it with the 3m orbital pads, or whatever their called. Then put loctite on it where the bearing sits, to account for any lost tolerance. Our 99 2388 deserved a makeover after about 1800 sep hours. Never had a bad bushing, but a few broken rail bolts over time. Let the pro's do it and the above are a few things they did to renew it. They used the alignment tool as well. Definately want to do it right, and get someone very familier with it to learn from. I suggest new wood blocks for the rotor augers, and align the beveled gears for them. The auger should be flush with the wood block on the end. When the auger goes forward slightly, it is not fully engaged with the beveled drive gear. It can go forward because the roll pin used will wear out, as well as a poor washer used to shim it. Replace roll pin and use a better fitting washer to ensure long life. Goodluck | |
