Put a slot filled bearing on the spigot (input) shaft. (6208 or 6308)
Mainshaft bearing 6307 (double check all these)
The bearing between the spigot and mainshaft is a Hyatt 99000
I dont know the numbers for the cluster bearings, but Ross prince will know.

Cheers Lynn,

I'll get onto ordering those in next couple of days.
Will have a closer look at the grease cup thingy too.

I know some people feel it's better to build using components that are still OK to use as is, but I would rather get 'intimate' with how things work, and I reckon there's no better way to do this than pull the stuff apart and put everything back together. It's the best way for me to really understand how & why things work the way they do! (or WHY they fail)

Thanks again and have a Happy Christmas!

Hope you NZ cousins don't have any more quakes. Christ knows you've suffered enough.
