hi guys, recently refurbished my fsc with new bearings and out everything back how it was dismantled. Thing is that it didn't spin as freely as before and actually stopped whilst I working with it? I've since dismantled it and can't see a problem. The fsc is fro jetmac but the spinney bit looks very generic and looks like many others out there.  Any thoughts?

What bearing did you get - cheap bearing can cause issues as in size and tolerances

Did you grease it well and use the correct spec ?

[rb4no]

Yes went to a bearing specialist in Norwich and got like for like.

Norwich !

oh dear 

they only deal with trac-tors boy!

[Smudger]

when you dismantled it did the bearing run free at this point ?

the first time I dismantled it the bearings were on there way out so got those replaced, been scratching around trying to figure whats' going on to no avail so bit the bullet and bought a new internal shaft section, I'll compare the two side by side to see what's wrong with the original  and then use it for spares I guess...

[Smudger]

so you haven't dismantled it since putting in the new bearings ?

if so, have you checked they still spin freely ?
