I have a 2003 Bandit 1590 and the non belt side or driver side bearing started smoking and then ceased. Smoke started coming out of the chipper chute which was accompanied by a loud clunking sound.
Where can I get new bearings? I know I can get them through Bandit and through my local dealer, but my local dealer doesn't have any in stock and they need to order some directly from Bandit... I know that Bandit likely gets them from somewhere else and then changes double, then the dealer likely chargers a bit on top of that plus $130 an hour in labor..
Is there anywhere else that I can go to get them? I am not sure what happened or why they failed.. I grease my machine every time I use it. This is a used machine and I have put about 35 hours on it since I have owned it back in March.
Does anyone have experience changing out a bearing?
Thanks!!
