[QUOTE="Mac, post: 12653, member: 1463"] Bought a 443 that has been stored for quite some time. Know the history of the machine:only 240 original hours. Had wheel bearings replaced as they were in pieces. Bad enough to take out the rear axles from scoring. My question: Are the wheel bearings supposed to be lubed by the chaincase oil? This seems to be the case as there are no suggestions in the scheduled maintenance to re-pack wheel bearings.
