Many thanks: no the bearing is the one on the main crank assembly: it connects the crank to the front end of the connecting rod of the plunger. In the Massey parts manual it is called the connecting rod bearing. It is apparently easy to remove. I have bought a replacement bearing but can't figure out the easy way to change it with the old one. As MF design is so good there must be a fairly quick way for this routine service/repair job when that bearing fails or wears out, which it can do with fairly catastrophic effect, according to a now deceased friend! I have already undone the bearing block and am now figuring out the next step. I miss being able to yarn with him about the old machine!(quoted from post at 03:38:18 02/02/18)
The one on the plunger? You have to remove the plunger head out of the back of the baler.

Many thanks for the query: I have managed to do it and took photos of all stages. I shall post the solutin shortly!
have now finished the description and will try to post photos but will have to check file sizes for photos and find out how to do so. Please let me know if there any problems. Unfortunately my post was not allowed because illegal symbols were included. I deleted all spaces etc but still not allowed so will try another way of copying it from the word processor which is Libre Office Writer. The photos I am not sure can be uploaded.(reply to post at 05:04:54 04/13/18)
ere is another try at the description.(reply to post at 05:04:54 04/13/18)
It worked twice despite being rejected, sorry about that. I shall upload one image of the bearing case being pulled back into place as a test. I that works a photo of the home made bearing press in use.(quoted from post at 04:16:55 04/28/18) Here is another try at the description. This did not work either:sorry about that!
