My Gleaner is only 18 years old and I did replace 1 bearing this year. The way I read most post are about improving, selling, wanted and general information not repairing. Why spend six digits trading for a new updated machine when we can update the old ones to do as good if not better than a factory non improved machine, any brand, for only a few digits. If you have the money to buy new thats great. Not all of us do and if there wasn't ever any new ones then there won't be any used ones. This is what this site is for and the Gleaner people are GREAT. That is the reason for so many post. Keep it up and THANKS to every body here. David
