We own a 6'-10" wide, 300-20-20 model Leinbach harrow. On one of the front gangs of discs, either the 1) disc plates broke or 2) the bearing is shot/loose. Reason I say "either" is that the harrow is at the farm and I am here at the house, 1 hour away. Should have taken a pic of the problem but did not think about it until I left. The front gang was pretty loose and clangy but rolled OK. Leads me to believe it is the plate(s) and not the bearing.
Anyway, I ordered disc plates and bearings from Leinbach to make the repair either way. The man at Leinbach (good guy btw) said replacing either one is "pretty easy" with the right size wrenches (which we have).
Anyone ever fooled with this type of replacement? If so, any tips or pointers? Don't guess it can be too hard but I have found with tractors that nothing is ever quite as easy as someone tells me. And I even went to Clemson...
