Back blading the cottage driveway yesterday & heard a rumble from the engine at idle when I stopped to change my blade angle. Lifted the hood & saw the fan/dynamo housing wobbling around.Today I removed the hood, drained/removed rad, fan belt, fan & dynamo housing. Outer bearing was coming apart & inner bearing was rough & loose. Found (2) 6201 bearings for $10 total from a motorcycle shop, made a gasket from a cereal box & re-assembled - works great. Did a search here before I started & found a post where the guy bought a re-build kit for $275! What would that include other than gasket & bearings?
