| Post subject: | backwater bearings size |
The shaft worked up through the ujoint and the back prop nut went into the bearing housing tearing out the seal and grinding on a bearing. I don't want to wait for an order from backwater. I got hunting to do. Anyone know the bearing dimensions? I'm assuming they are standard. I can get bearings and seals from my local napa if i give them a size. Help would be surely appreciated !! It's the weld on rear housing. What a bunch of squeeling, grinding, and vibration! I thought the universal was going out at the time. |

I just thought there might be some hands on mudders on this forum. |

Call and ask backwater the bearing dimensions. They'll probably tell you. It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face. |

NAPA- Bearings yes, seals no. Give Backwater a call. They will overnight them to you. Some of the best customer service in the business.....use it. |

Do you have a Backwater frame or just their bearing set up? Can you please post a picture of what happened? Thanks. |

I really can't imagine how the prop nut got to the bearing. Once again, please post pics if you don't mind. |

I'll have one of my boys post pics as soon as I can. My phone doesn't send pictures for some reason. I didn't know they overnighted stuff. great. I've been putting a shift kit in the truck the last 2 days. Yanking bearings tommorrow if it don't rain. And not a BW frame.  Bog Hog tube and shaft. |

You're saying the first prop nut tore up the bearing housing cap and then wrecked the seals and bearings? |

I'm pretty sure that your Bog Hog has bronze bushings. If there is not much play in the shaft, you should be ok with just replacing the seal for now. |

I'm sorry I didn't clarify.. Bog hog with the old style Backwater weld on bearing housing kit. No tapered ends on the old style. And I beefed the frame up with struts on the top and 2 sides, and a few gussets. Shaft is out. Crap! Grooved out where the bearings rode. Hafta build them up and take the shaft to a machine shop. After I get the seized prop off so I can slide the housing off. Wondering now why I didn't go with the Bog Hog bronze bushings instead of going with the bearing route. Not knocking BackH2o. Heavy duty stuff. It would have just been a heck of an easier, cheaper fix! Puddle jumping now. Pictures will be coming. |
