i have a few "loggers" 066 bottom ends I have split and removed the bearings from (as a matter of procedure and choice). They seemed to be 'usable' in that they were NOT crunchy or sloppy (within tolerances) when the bearings were "lubricated" . Once the bearings were "cleaned" they rolled like crap. It was only after the case oil was stripped did the bearings show their true wear.
I've read a few threads where a case gets "flushed" with mix before replacing seals and rebuild. My question is does anyone flush with mix, then flush with a "detergent" to verify condition of bearings ?
Yes, the right thing is to replace them on any saw you have questions about usage history, but sometimes you just wanna get the saw back on line fast.
What do y'all do to get a good condition check on bearings. ?
