The machine is new to me. The cutter wheel has visible play. I am thinking that I should replace the jack shaft bearings as well. I am looking for a good video or any advice on how to tackle this. Thank you.
Does Vermeer publish a shop manual? It would be worth buying one for a job of this size. If not, can you get a dealer to print out exploded parts diagrams? Those would help too.
I always say, "When all else fails, read the instructions".
I can give them a ring and see if there is a shop manual. They provide free access to parts and maintenance manuals, but the maint. manual does not cover this.
