amazingkevin Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 My worst dewalt i scavenged a motor from will get a bearing re grease and then i can just switch the complete top arm assembly with lower mechanisms to save down time.It will be a type 2 to a type 1 mechanism transfer.Its a job i can and have done but do not look forward to it,better things to do like keep scrolling. bobscroll, OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'll be doing this on mine very soon.. I bought enough bearings and sleeves to rebuild the whole thing last fall.. but I never got to it.. I don't plan to rebuild the whole thing.. I just wanted the parts on hand this time as a couple years ago I didn't have the parts.. so .. I rebuilt the front portion and since then I try to shut down and clean up re-grease every year.. so far the front has been maintained very well and not no issues with it.. but the parts at the back are getting noisy once again.. last time I didn't have the parts so I just cleaned and greased.. now it's quite noisy so I have all new parts and will replace the back portion.. then probably just re-grease the front amazingkevin and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
