A few years ago, I had replaced the bearings in an old Farendlose (now Kuhn ) drum mower I had bought. After I got the spindle remounted, I managed to snap off a punch while reseating a locating pin. I remember thinking what a PITA it would be when I had to replace those bearings again.
This year it happened. The bearings failed and a drill bit wouldn't touch the steel in the broken off punch.
I was reduced to grinding out the punch and pin ends with a Dremel. Two and a half hours later I had the spindle out again.
The machine shop called yesterday to say they had the bearing races rebuilt but they need me to show them how it goes together. Oh oh.
