I tore apart my brake housing to replace some seals today (I"m hoping to seal all the leaks to get around to paint it) and while I had everything apart, I decided to see if I could chuck the Bull pinion shaft. Well, it chucked, about 1/8 of an inch i"d roughly guess. I need to put a dial indicator or it to really know. My point is, How much can a person allow? I"ve been driving it around occasionally since I got it running this spring, and it dosen"t drive funky with any kind of jerking or anything else. The IH book only says to check and repair bearings to set standards but dosen"t list any. And, if I should replace them, do I have to tear the Axle housing off to do it? The book makes It look that way. My hour meter only reads about 4600 hours, that"s low compared to some I"ve heard of on the internet and in books. Of course, I don"t know how many times It"s rolled over. Are there other 806"s out there just as worn out or worse still goung strong with no problems? Or is this something I should be really worried about? Taking the rear axles off to replace the worn bearings on the bull gear shafts just about committs me to a rear end overhaul. I"m scared to find out what that will cost. I need some guys with lots more expirence than myself to explain this one out. Thanks so much. Andy
