Has anybody else taken one apart and changed the bearings and seals. It looks fairly simple, but IME there is always something that tests the skills and equipment in a farm workshop with this sort of job.
Any tips gratefully received.

Edit: Please nobody say tidy the bench first. We did that last year!!
Edit 2 Looks like one of the gear teeth is not perfect on the photo - better take a closer look.

I did a maschio box a couple of years ago - they have various sized shims to get the right amount of backlash in the gears. I didn’t have enough backlash and it lasted about 2 hours before it overheated.

not a Kuhn, but may be of some relevance.

Does Andrew Guest not do an exchange unit? Could work out quicker and cheaper.

Ps he would know the setup procedure and torque settings so would be worth a phone call if nothing else.
