Bogballe parts

[valtraman]

Is there any non genuine suppliers for bogballe parts ? I’m needing new vanes for fert spinner and I believe the parts are pricey . Mines just a 12m l1 machine

Last set I bought were about £600 but that is a couple of years ago. Never heard of fake parts so I expect you will have to bite the bullet.

Ouch it’s worse than I thought. What they made off?

 

[Boysground]

they do seem to last, just make sure you change yours if they have a crack in them. I've been there you dont want to.

One set (4 vanes) should be about half that amount.

Don’t weld up your old vanes, they are liable to breakup and do a lot more damage than £300.

Had a hole mine and squeezed some filler into it. Anybody patched them up?

My memory could well be iffy.

The bottom of the hopper our bogballe has developed a bit of rust, the rest of it is perfect.

Anyone ever replaced the bottom

No, I had a price though and we now have a few plastic and tar patches!

Not too bad I suppose . I reckon I’ve put through 1000 tonnes before they started to go

Is it difficult to change a disc bearing on an m2 spreader?

 

[Derek67]

Welded these up often, no problems what so ever, just be careful of heat distortion and adjust as necessary..

Is it difficult to change a disc bearing on an m2 spreader?

No. It all should come apart easily, change all the seals at the same time and remember to seal the plate you take off around the gears with silicone when you put it back on.

if you grab the disc there’s some wobble on it, so do I have to open it all up or is there just a bearing on the end of that upward stub? Hope that make sense

 

[Boysground]

The disc can have a little movement between itself and the plate it sits on, remember the shafts are different one side is a right hand thread the other left. If the shaft itself wobbles even slightly the bearing is gone. Take the agitator off and the disc. Then the end cover on the gearbox and the shaft and bearing will come out. Krm do repair kits with the seals.

If I can do it, it is not difficult

First thing is to take a picture of the orientation of the discs for later reference,
Then unscrew the agitator, one side is left hand thread and the other is right hand thread, then remove the disc, then remove all the 6mm bolts and pry apart the two housings you will then have the shaft removed,
One hex countersunk bolt on the bottom of this and remove the bushing, bearing, gear, bearing and seal.
Refit as above and don't forget to remove the seal from one side of each bearing, Install a grease nipple on the housing for maintenance.
