In my opinion the difference between rebuilding your old ones or purchasing new ones, is how good you are in your shop. If you have an equiped shop and are pretty good at basic fabrication, no reason not to rebuild. If you have to pay shop rate somewhere else, get a quote and compare with new price. On the marlin ears, it depends on what crops and what your climate conditions are for harvest. I run grass seed, wheat, clovers, and ocaisionaly some oats and vetch. Its usually dry here for harvest, but sometimes the long stem grass can be tough if it's cloudy or had a thunder shower on it. For these crops in these conditions, I will never go back to oem ears. Marlins work perfectly. What crops do you harvestIJ

tried the marlins on a 1460 couple years ago in oats , soybeans and corn. Noticed some difference in oats for the better, couldn't really tell much difference in corn and soybeans.
