    Oil Barrel > Diesel ... Does a little bit of new engine oil hurt in diesel?

    My old 55 gal diesel drum is getting rusty and I scored a new 55 gal barrel that had engine oil in it. I've drained as much as I can from the barrel but there is still a little in it.

    Flail Mower Mott 72" Flail Mower bearing replacement & drive pulley spacing

    As you can see the bearing sticking out on the outboard side is half the problem. You might mic the thickness of the housing to see if that is the other half of the problem. The real issue is the sheave. If it sticks that far out it won't line up with the drive sheave. If this was my problem...

    The deal was .... it had a dent on the hood from the previous owner dropping a bucket load of logs when he lifted it too high. Dealer kept lowering the price but still couldn't sell a dented hood. I'm not fussy about those kinds of things so I made him a deal. It already had the 3rd function...
