ASV BROKE!!!

[cann mulching]

I can't just change the bearings because the bearing failure caused the idlers to move forward & chewed up the rubber idler wheels, so all is going to need replacing!
Thanks for the feedback!!

Well I got a quote on the idler assembly today. OUCH!! $954.00 in stock WOW I never thought it would be that much. I am just gonna fix the idler assembly & bolt on some new drive lugs & keeper goin. Gonna have to save some more money for the rest of them when the time comes.
Does anyone know if I can get them cheaper anywhere else?
:confused2:

I paid around $100 dollars less by using my end plates and bolts. Once I had one go out two more went out soon after. That machine broke my ***.

Well Ax I sent the wife to get the parts & to my understanding they just had the whole assembly anyway thats what she came home with. Now I went to put it on & the dang starter went out I guess. There is sparks comming from the inside of the starter when the key is turned, so now something else to fix before the main item!!! URGH!!!!

Where did you get the price from? I remember the one's from Pucket being the cheapest. Yep those bearings are a very common failure down here on the ASVs

 

[cann mulching]

I dunno about Pucket but I bought from Vermeer in Jackson! Probably should've call them & checked!!
How you been Dirty haven't seen you on here in a while?

Sorry to hear about your luck man. I have been busy with my 9-5 and just grinding stumps on the side. I need to meet up with you in Hat one day next week and swap out some cards. I may even have a few leads for ya.

Well tell you the truth I been working in the Oil Field since January for my old Boss. It is 9-5 plus 24-7 sometimes. So not so much time mulching. I need to do some jobs but the main one comes first. Know what I mean!!

I'm not sure, but these guys may be able to redo that too (custom bonding). Sometimes you gotta be creative to be frugal

You did the right thing buying the new one. When they go out they are shot. I know what you are going through and I hope the others stay strong. Mine had the same amount of hours when they started failing. Save your bolts,nuts and end plates.
