Hello
I find alot of gaskets that are out of shape. The newer gasket seems better and will protect the bearing better.
See greasing the bearings

Has anyone checked and replaced their bearing gaskets lately?

Pic 3 - New VS old bearing gasket
Pic 4 - Auger with new bearing gasket
Pic 5,6 - New auger bearing gasket installed with new auger bearings and new auger motors for good measure.
Zerk fitting on the left side makes it easier to attach a grease gun.
_________The new bearings do not come with grease.
