As I work through my Logan 820, I am finding, and for the most part, successfully fixing the various issues I come across.
While installing a new belt, I noticed that the countershaft and "self-lubricating" bearings were quite worn out. The shaft was a simple .750" shaft that simply needed to be cut to length, but the brass bearings were quite worn out. I have considered cutting new brass bearings and pressing them into the original mounts, but I wanted to get some thoughts on the pros/cons of making a set of ball bearing mounts.
