I wondered if any one knew if bearing grease would turn to dirt and dust after many years. We had the misfortune of two wheel bearings going bad on a head hauler today, the wagon is maybe 20 years old, the dust caps have never been off(judging by the paint) the inner dust seals on both wheels looked good with no rust in the hub. There was just a lot of brownish dusty dirt inside of the hubs of an amount that could have easily been the amount of grease used when the wagon was new. This wagon by its nature is not used a lot at any time of the year so exposure to dirt and mud like a manure spreader or hay wagon hasn't happened. I have seen this sort of thing before but blamed a bad seal and lots of dirty conditions. I would like some opinions on this if there are any. Thanks
