Ya. Vermeer made a few bucks off me on that one.

Noted. Thank you.

Im going to pull a bearing and take it to the local bearing dealers.

$157 per bearing through Vermeer means less anywhere else. Vermeer jams it up my ass. 87 dollars for a dipstick. They are brutal. I just want to shop it out. Vermeer isn't making bearings, yet Ill pay a premium for those outsourced bearings to come in a box from Vermeer. If I can get quality...

Al, I will friggin' kiss you if you can do that for me!

I can get the Vermeer part number if that helps?

We talked about this before but I cant find the thread. Before I order from Vermeer, does anyone know a way I can figure out how to price the bearings from a bearing shop? I cant rip into the chipper and then buy bearings. I need to have parts before I start for obvious reasons. I want to see...
