trading1two 12 #1 Posted May 30, 2012 I have a Commando 8 with a very noisy Generator. Is it possible to lubricate the bearings ? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,863 #2 Posted May 31, 2012 You could try taking the bearings out and lubricate them, but if you are going that far, you might as well just replace them. They are quite inexpensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 649 #3 Posted May 31, 2012 I'm with Bob, they are cheap to replace. I just had my starter/generator rebuilt at my local electric shop for $35 which included new bearings, and brushes. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trading1two 12 #5 Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for all the helpfull advice. I did not realize it would be that easy. I will be at the Wheel Horse Show along with this tractor ( which i will sell) and my real treasure 1 1960 Suburban 550. Regards, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trading1two 12 #6 Posted June 4, 2012 I ended up taking it apart and the bearings were in good condition, except they were dry. After packing them with grease and installing them WOW what a difference.! Thanks for the excellent advvice to all! David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
