I repair equipment for a living, usually forklifts and other warehouse type equipment, but I do get random other things thrown at me from time to time.
John Deere 5220 w/loader
Pretty self explainitory what happened
Getting the CORRECT parts was the largest pain in the butt I’ve had in a long time.
Ordered spindle assy and bearings from Deere dealer in person using the supplied parts breakdown
Bearings would not fit on spindle. New or old bearings. New spindle had not been finish machined. Was told that the spindle was made large and there was an updated bearing set....bearings were still .012”too small to fit with out deforming or breaking inner race.
I understand it’s supposed to be a tight fit, not THAT tight.
Still an open case with Deere about the mismade spindle
aftermarket spindle was ordered, it was much better but still needed some massaging
Almost a month down time, trying to get the correct parts
So glad I bought orange....
