Alternative To Replacing The Bearing On His No Till Grain Drill
Bayard E. Young, Elkwood, Va.: “After several years of use the coulters and double disc openers on my Tye 3-pt. mounted, 10-ft. no-till grain drill became wobbly due to worn-out sealed bearings, a problem that was caused by a lack of grease. Replacing the bearings was a big job, and I decided that I was only going to do it once.
  “So instead of installing new bearings, I decided to drill and tap in new grease zerk fittings. That way I can grease the bearings any time I want. It was a lot of work, because with the disc openers I had to first remove the rivets from the caps. However, now the sealed bearings on this drill will stay greased forever.”
