Our trusty mixer decided to throw a main drum bearing yesterday. It has served us well in the toughest conditions for more than six years. We determined that replacing a drum bearing with years of caked concrete is no small task. To complete the repair, we would have needed to disassemble most of the mixer. After thinking things through and considering our options, we decided to take a look at our even older mixer that had been lounging in the bone yard for an equal time. The older mixer had a lunched transmission, but the drum bearings were still in good shape. After determining the usable parts on each mixer, we decided to combine the best of the two mixers to make one serviceable machine. Matt and Tony made short work of the rebuild, and in less than half a day, we were ready to begin mixing our magic mud once again.
