Re: Source of Wheel Bearings for Series 526

I thank you all for your help. I finally got a chance to address the wheel bearing issue. I’m pleased to say that the bearings appear to be in fine shape, with no noticeable wear or abrasion. The grease looks fine, also, with no evidence of having seen heat.

When I reassembled everything, the noise went away. I think the noise was simply a result of the retaining nut being too loose, allowing the wheel to wobble more than it should. Now, a nice smooth operation, with no wobble, and no noise.
Thanks again,

Phil
