3 speed tranny's and ball bearings... NOT recommended?

[Lil Giants]

I've got trks with bushings & bearings in the trans, I don't remember anymore which is which, I've never had a repair to any of them.

Bearings are an unnecessary exspense, bushings work fine, use the kit supplied grease during assembly, I never grease them again after that. The only areas I add bearings is in the outer ends of driven axles (next to the differential is bushed), axle pinions & front non powered wheels. Everywhere else is bushed.
