Ive got a mid 1990's Vermeer SC672 stump grinder that needs to have the center pivot rebuilt/re bushed. The pivot is very loose with lots of slop and if you take the wrong bite it will make the machine buck like a 4x4 pickup with death wobble. I picked up the machine as is for $1500, pretty much a give away price, the Deutz engine has been replaced previously, hydraulics work great and it runs excellent so the prosepect of putting some time and money into it seems like a good investment. I checked with the Vermeer dealer and the parts were around $250 which didn't seem too bad, the dealer called the "parts" bearings which I thought was strange as I expected the common pin and bushings used in so much equipment. I would imagine the parts may possibly be available from a bearing/drive shop or another tractor, or industrial supply. I'm curious to find out if anyone here could share their first hand knowledge of making this repair. and what to expect to expect once inside. I have the use of a friends shop with a gantry crane and a mini excavator to help pull thing apart to make this repair.
Thanks in advance, Carter
