<p>I cannot get behind the bearing. Picture a wheel hub mounted in
a long beam with no means of hooking on to anything with a puller,
and the spindle turns while the hub is stationary. Then try to
get the outer bearing off while it is inside the hub... Either
the outer bearing is stuck to the shaft or the inner or both. I
drove some log splitting wedges between the wheel and the bearing
housing, but I don't want to break it, there are not any more
around..</p>

Cecil,

<div>My suggestion is based on the assumption that you have the
shaft pulled out. Not clear if that is the situation. If not,
good luck with the welder.</div>

<div>Have you tried to break the bearing free using a flat
nose chisel? Place the chisel against the inner race and hit
with a hammer once or twice. Move the chisel to the
opposite side of the shaft and hit it once or twice again,
you may be able to walk the bearing off of the shaft.</div>

a wheel bearing. Took everything off and the outer bearing
is stuck on the shaft and will not drive out. Ruined the
nut on the end of the shaft trying to drive out with a 3lb
hammer. No way to use a puller. I may try to get the
welder close and use the carbon arc torch. Put an arc
carbon on each side of the inner race and heat to break it
loose.<br>

With rain coming in you will be baling what we used to
call 'very clean hay' soon.<br>
<br>
Stories like this make me realize that NOT going back to
the farm when I was 40 was the right move for me. Sorry
to hear you're having so much equipment trouble.<br>

Long story. My 648 New Holland round baler baled 47
bales and about Noon, the knife would not cut wrap.
Baled another 3 bales after installing new roll of
wrap. Climbed up on top of baler each time to try to
get knife to cut. Called my buddy at Chickasha who is
a baler expert. He had not worked on that one. Called
Local New Holland dealer and baler guy said he had not
worked on that model and it was to old. Only a 2000
model. I opened up the side covers and looked at
main drive chains and they were coming apart and
cutting a slot in main frame! and had cut grooves in
the teeth of the Drive sprocket. It was fine when I
started..<br>
<br>
Wife asked how much is a new one?? Just take it out
of your 401k before the gov't gets it all. I made a
few calls and the local NH dealer did not have
anything in a 4ft wide baler. I have 12 rolls of Net
for 4 ft wide. So the Vermeer dealer delivered a new
Vermeer 504R Premium at 3:30pm. I finished at 11:30
that night. I still like my old one better. This one
has a touch screen that drives me nuts in the cab at
night. It is so bright on the lowest setting it is
like a house of mirrors in the cab. No night
setting. It seems to run slower on the belts than the
old NH, so it takes longer to wrap but bales may be a
bit denser. This one has a hyd pickup that is a pain
in the butt since I have to disconnect my loader to
connect the pickup. And with a loader on I have to
drive with the loader at 7ft above the ground to see
the windrow. No fault of the baler. I got 128 bales
baled.. The monitor tells me how many bales per
hour, how many minutes per bale, and the moisture. 15
% on one field and wet on the other. Really tells me a
lot!! I really want my old one running again.. I
bought my old one in 2005 for $10K I baled for 12
years and spent about $3500 for bearings gears and
belts. It needs about $1500 in chains and sprockets
now, and the knife problem is something on an
adjustment. The knife drops by gravity, and I have
looked at it so many times trying to figure out what
raises it when the chamber opens I finally gave up. I
have not found a dealer who can tell me yet. The new
one is not better by the $26500 difference in price.
I had 30 acres of hay down that resulted in 121 bales
at $50/bale, so I had to do something. Forecast was
for rain that evening and it only sprinkled for 5
minutes. I had another baler in a shed that I bought
but it needed some parts and I did not know anything
about it.<br>
<br>
I started laying hay down again yesterday and after 3
acres the swather pitman oscillator bearing went out
and during removing the collar the shaft broke on the
oscillator. I have another on a salvage swather but
the bearings seem to be frozen on the spindle. Then
we had a cold front come through and an inch of rain.
Heat and humidity and more rain today......<br>
