I was able to find a service manual last night (in ~15 years, I've never needed one) - I'd post a link, but I'm not sure about the rules here. In reading the steps, it would appear that cab tipping and gearbox removal are probably not necessary, as the blown bearing is the last thing to go back in the gearbox before the retaining clip after reassembly - and the manual states that the bearing is only hand-pressed in. That's going to be my first attempt, as removing the gearbox looks like a PITA. I understand that there might be a ball in there, but I think the spacer should have prevented them from falling into the gearbox and I have found many balls already and will do a count to see how close I am to having them all. Also - the unit has been running w/out problem like this for god-knows-how-long ... there are no symptoms of this problem - I literally found it by accident. I will follow up on this thread after the repair and will post a link to the (free) service manual if it's allowed here. ------- Any chance of formatting help? I tried to use manual HTML and forum code [p] to no avail - is there a way to insert code manually? ----- Thanks again!</p></blockquote><p></p>
