bottjernat1, i have been converting a number of bearings over to hi temp grease , lucas red n tacky, lucas heavy duty , high drop point 550 temp , bearing noise is gone and they work without effort , ED ,i figured that you would be on something like this , pete

I have one of those. About 40 years old. It's got a slight bend in it.

squonk, you know the general feed back i get from bearing issues is , that you can order bearings with a hi temp grease in them , its the combination of drag and resistance that also helps bearings to fail , since i have been detailing hi temp grease to bearing issues , the noise and failure rate is all but gone. i regularly zero in on a problem , no matter what , and make changes that make it just work better. the advantage of having an older style tractor , is that you are surrounded by used to be design, the issue keeps showing up , and i just like , tracking it down and making it work , like its not even there , making my horses work easily is a good time for me , pete
