All ones in our area are these. As are dump and landscape trailers.
But the Bartlett chip truck I just had shipped from NC was wired for the small six pin, so maybe regional??
That's been our experience
no snap rings and no moving parts on what's left. Just a tight fit with surface rust, pretty wild how strong that holds.
If I understand the comment, the bearing and race are all external, what's inside the rail housing is a non-moving straight shaft/rod that accepts...
Looked back at an older thread and @Reach you mentioned heating the housing then cold water dousing the spindle. I'll give that a go tomorrow. Any sweet rigs to use a jack/press without pushing on the opposite track rail??
Definitely why I stopped, it's been recommended and I strapped them together before jacking but was wary about that.
Not entirely following but will think on that
that is a separate piece like a tapered split washer that the bolt seats to. Same on the rear ones we replaced. After the bearing...
Fighting with one and looking for any tips. Front idler bearing on sk800. Have replaced the rear ones 4(?) times but those are in a sliding housing that can be removed and taken to a press. Heated, pb blasted, 8lb sledge vs punches, tried a bottle jack against a shorty/broken punch.
Most of the white pine dieback in Maine they're pointing towards mult needle cast fungi with more wet springs followed by drought. Sadly seeing similar but more rapidly fatal red spruce dieback along the coast right now too.
Just checked and didn't save his address from last purchase. His business website doesn't list one but prob could track down through it? https://heartwoodtreecare.ca/contact-us/ edit: address pops up on google for the business, I've driven right past him over the yrs!
If only those in politics lost their jobs when empty promises and lies stacked up. The BS our country's system allows, on all sides, is embarrassing. Especially when as inhumane as this.
