Look what I broke.

Found this when I was changing oil on the PT30. Hope it's an easy fix, changing the oil filter sucks.

I think I'm going to have to change a bunch of bearings. They are unsealed bearings but have seals on the inner & cap outside but the must get water in by looks of the bearing.

 

[Shovelrick]

Any way to put a bearing with a separate seal to keep water out? Edit or maybe a cup type seal that goes over the housing?

You should be able to find sealed bearings even if not from the manufacturer, but if this is a known issue, they may have upgraded bearings, or even still maybe they are counting on trashed bearings to sell more parts.

I'm going to look for some sealed bearings. But I don't know if I'll put as many hours on it as I used to. I thought I saw an upgrade, but it's quite spendy.

Take an old bearing to a bearing supply house, around here I use Terry Bearing Supply, they just need an old bearing for measurements and WAY cheaper than factory replacements and usually Timken brand, on a side note 1972 Impala front wheel bearings are exact same as 72 Harley swing arm bearings and a hell of a lot cheaper and I think made in same factory

The original rebuild kit isn't too bad, 78$ for each Bogie wheel, but there's 16 of them. The kit has 2 bearings a seal spacer dust cap, & lock rings.

 

[Shovelrick]

Is the kit US made? it wouldn't hurt checking with a bearing supply, if you want to you can send me pics and use a caliper for ID, OD and bearing width and I can check with the place I use, and if there's a part # that too

Looked at Grainger ? Here are some "double-sealed"

I always found Grainger to be the highest price of anyone.

But they have charts that can help you get the right part number

 

[77cruiser]

I finally found a place that has all the parts. Bearing are cheap, $3 the seals are $17. I found some sealed bearings on Amazon, order a couple if they're right I'll get some more sealed ones.
Don't know why it was so hard to find with search.
