Good advice about completely sealed bearings. They be sold also here with a so called „ lifetime greasing“ Now ya know what they‘re meaning with „ Lifetime“..... The dust of grease inside should reduce the lifetime to be as short as possible. Newerdays it is called „ planned obsolescence“ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,945 #127 Posted October 22, 2023 It was a great day to be a plow dog in Wisconsin! Jackie decided to run a bunch of oil out of the transmission input shaft (Model A Ford transmission) but other than @jeremi3210’s boy Jacob’s blue RJ58, he was the last one plowing today in Jim’s (not really a food plot but we saw some does) food plot! Another HUUUUGE thank you to Ciiiiiiinnnnnndaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!, Uncle Jim @WHX??, and Dan @Achto for an amazing weekend in Cheeseland! 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,945 #130 Posted October 22, 2023 Uncle Jim’s food plot is deceiving. It’ll chew you up and spit you out if you’re not careful! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,945 #133 Posted October 24, 2023 I built a new lever before the trip. Well worth the efforts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,945 #134 Posted November 7 A little maintenance was needed. Next thing you know, it barely looks the same! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,393 #136 Posted November 8 Another great video, thanks for sharing. Kevin, safety first please! need to tie off the dangling hoodie laces while working on rotating equipment. As you always say, "what could possibly go wrong" Using a file as a clamping spacer was the key to success. Great eyeballing on the set-up. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I held them back when I was thinking about them, but eliminating the possibility would have been better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
