Oh heck ya....and I rode that like I stole it...man it worked super hard doing that for almost 20 minutes straight...nut and figure 8 non stop, unless I did stop to regain composure cause I got to dizzy...ROFL.
Went back today and located the bearing...in great shape, and the teflon wipe/seal that helps keep out grime.
I'll be putting it back together and maybe welding the inside of it as well to make sure it don't happen again or in the field.
Now you see my bearing situation is right out at end of axle, sealed unlike other machines which have the axle with no support at wheel. As I see it this is far superior in application and design in comparison to any other machine IMHO.
I'll make sure to get more pics of axle and how it broke and so forth when I do a post mortem on it, and begin the repair procedure.
Well thanks for reading!
