Morning,

Question time again! Has anyone on here had a look at or converted one of the PBA wagons? I've not bought any yet, but will be doing so in due course.

I'm now thinking about fitting brass bearings. I would support Flymo's suggestions but on the vehicles I have done I have not fitted any bearings. They work fine and do not have a lot of use so no need in my view. If it ain't broke don't fix it! :) Terry Bendall Terry mine don't see a lot of use ei...
