60" haban deck Rebuild !
 

Started on the Haban, tore it down need to order new berrings, and a few other items. Have to get a new hanger and mule drive, and the little locking blocks for the blades.
Rescue11 is going to weld up the cracks on the deck and a few other things. Then back to me to blast and paint. I think my little Simplicity 727 deck will be a little easier.

Here are a few threads on the care and feeding of the Haban decks.

Should save you some time and $$$

Started fabbing the missing and replacing the worn out baffles on Keiths Haban deck this evening. Had a beer, put on some good tunes and went to work. 4 hours later, I have this.

Thanks bud. Looks better than original. Cany wait to get her blasted and put back together.
Can someone chime in and lst me know a good place to get new berrings for it.

This is where I got the bearings for my Habans.

VXB.COM 1-800-928-4430
8 Bearing 6205-2RS 25x52x15 Sealed Ball Bearings
Price: $31.37
Code: Kit487

They come in a pack of 8 so you'll end up with 2 extras. Remember to remove one of the seals from each bearing and install the unsealed side to the inside of the housing or you won't be able to grease them.

Thanks, I knew I had seen it on here somewhere. Now It's time to sand Blast the deck and paint. then we are ready. Well almost, still need to find a good used sub-frame and mule drive. I might have a complete one for $100.00 + shipping. still waiting on the guy to get back to me. :beatdeadhorse:

Well i finished the mule drive and part of the hanger should have the rest done tomarow. Then all thats left is sanding down the deck and paint. A few pix of the finished products so far.

I also used these guys for bearings, a decent product for the money. I think I recognize the part number as one of the bearings I ordered when I rebuilt the headstock on an old Shopsmith, must be a lot of applications for this size.

I was going to put new berrings in, but i just regressed rhw old ones, they were in good condition. darned rain i was going to start on the deck but that's not going to happen.

Got the subframe back together, but I'm confused on the hangers. They dont want to fit in without hitting the subframe. Here are a few pix. I know I'm just doing something simple wrong here????
