How to Replace the Drum Bearing on an FAE UML SSL 150 VT Forestry Mulcher (and Remove the Pulley)

[@eliseolozano4785]

I appreciate the vid. I just got a fae head from auction and unfortunately it needs some work. I’ve determined it’s the rotor bearings

[@huntergrady6067]

You remember what size bolt you bought to get that bearing housing out? About to tackle this project myself. Thanks!

[@dirttraxx]

I want to say it’s a 5/8 bolt with 1.25 pitch but not 100% sure. I will try to figure that out.

@Dirttraxx Land Clearing beleive it or not the bolt that holds the tooth on my cimaf head worked lol this video helped a lot with the process though thanks for the reply man

I'm looking for a Manual for this to service maintenance and mechanical wise do you know of a pdf file I could find. Having hellvatime tracking down one. Uml/ssL

[@dirttraxx]

They don’t exist according to FAE. If you contact them, they will send you instructions for certain repairs but that’s about it other than a part manual and owners manual.

Can you tell me the name of the name of the bearing shop in tulsa you use?

[@dirttraxx]

Midwest Bearing and Chain Co. on 83rd Ave.

How much did the bearing cost? And where did you get it from? I have a couple fae heads that I got from auction but can't find a dealer near me to work with

[@dirttraxx]

For my head, I used SKF 22311 E/C3 for $180 off of Amazon. Recently I’ve started using a local bearing shop out of Tulsa that sells their own American made bearing for $75/each. If you buy one from FAE, they are way steeper than these prices.

Was it squealing ? Is that why you replaced ? My head has 100hrs and it’s squealing

[@danielyoura8428]

Also does the place in Tulsa stock them ? I need one tomorrow asap

Hey, great video I am currently doing mine on the exact side right now. As far as the bearing off of Amazon are they the same # on each side? Curious if I should order two to have one as a spare. I ordered one from my dealer but it’s been a week and a half without any eta and about $440 so I am going to order the one you posted now off Amazon. This video was a life saver. Thanks man

[@tonymcveigh8789]

Don’t show much

[@dirttraxx]

Sorry you didn’t find it helpful! Please let us know what you’d like to see more of specifically as we will be doing a more in depth version sooner. This was just meant as a basic overview that essentially repeats the service manual.

Brother, you showed less than half the process. I'd say abt 45 percent. What you did show was excellent.
