Need cultipacker wheels

[IAJosh84]

Posted a while ago about picking up a Bearcat cultimulcher for cheap. I finally got around to digging it out of the weeds and hauling it home. Pretty good shape all in all but it needs a few things. Seems to only have one bearing out which isn"t a big deal. The tricky part is finding some replacement wheels. It needs a few of the sproket type wheels. They are sandwhiched between smooth rollers and don"t ride directly on the axle but on a collar that is part of the smooth roller. They measure 14" outside diameter, the center hole measures 4". I"ve called around to some of the salvage yards in the area but haven"t had much luck. Anybody know of a salvage yard that will have them or of anybody who has a old cultipacker laying around for parts?

Parts are heavy so most go for scrap. I had a couple of wheels on mine that the centers were broken out. I just got some cast iron rods and welded the broken wheel to the wheel beside it. So far it has worked fine.

Hi, Read your post. I have a bearcat cultimulcher that I would be willing to part out. I just bought another one at auction last week to replace mine. Most of the bearings are out of mine and the frame is cracking in places but all of the rollers are good. I would like to retain some rollers for myself but will either part out or scrap the rest. If interested let me know.

I may be interested, not sure what shipping from Wisconsin to Iowa would be though. Where at in Wisconsin are you?

I'm located about 20 miles south of La Crosse Wis. Where in Iowa are you?

I'm in central Iowa. I'll check into shipping. Do you have the smooth rollers and the sprocket type?

I have a question for you guys, and I didn"t want to upset you by hijacking the thread. I am new to the site. Where can I get bearings and housings for the bearcat 16' cultimulcher? The shaft is okay, but all the front bearings and housings (I think they are called pillow block housings) are defective. It seems like it will be a chore to drop the front gang and to replace all the bearings.

Also, I need one of the sprocket type wheels previously referred to.

If you're still parting out your bearcat, I'm interested in buying several of your sprocket wheels. I have several partially broken and a few completely gone. I would be interested in up to 10.
