Cleaning bogie box, arms and pins todayI found an interesting thing.
Careful to keep all the pieces with their mating parts I suddenly found
myself with an extra pancake bearing... the flat bearing that goes on
each end of thearm where the pin goes thru. (between arm and bogie box
on both ends)
One of them had TWO pancake bearings on the back end of the arm.
Anyone seen this before? I measured stuff and it sure looks like it
needs to be there to take up space. My guess is the bogie box was
slightly miscast...
Just curious.

Wierd. The parts manual does show two versions of that thrust bearing depending on serial number. I think it refers to the different diameter bogie pins. I had to replace some of those pins on mine and found them at Northern Tools. I also put double o-rings in a concentric pattern outside the thrust bearing just to keep the crud from accumulating in that space.
