I work in a machine shop and I just fixed one of these for a guy same exact thing. Ran for a few hours and welded one of the 2 bearings to itself.. I would pack the bearings and put some extra in the housing then grease after up to temperature . And then grease every 4 hours of run time.
@@williamharvey3658 we went back with American made bearings for the guy, funny he said the same exact thing . Grease fitting was covered by a cover and thought nothing of finding a grease fitting before running it.. hopefully you get it fixed and get good use out of it.
I have one that locked up as well The bearings welded themselves to the shaft now I need bearings and shaft Order the complete assembly $1000.00 8 days ago and it still hasn’t been shipped
