Kuhn GMD500 Spindle Rebuild Part 1

Teardown of old spindle. Had some issues but got it figured out. Kuhn GMD 500 hay mower. This method will also work with other kuhn mowers.

Couldn't cross reference it but was able to match it by size. Hope to have it soon.

the next time you have a inside bearing race like you had try this trick i learned from old mechinic at work, take your welder and weld a bead inch or so on race it will fall out, i told him he was full of shit, so i tried it and it works, dont know why it works you would thank it would get tighter but it draws up, damndes thing i ever seen.

[@1995jug]

Did old bearing have good numbers, most of the time they use there own numbers so you have to buy from them. i got six of them on my kuhn if your fix works i will keep it in mine.

weld a bead in the race, turn it upside down, it'll fall out!!!!
