Decided to strip down the head stock and check all bearings and the drive belt ,
this photo shows the head stock with the shaft removed
the shaft removed and bearings cleaned
ant the other side of the pulleys
quit a clever mechanical speed control by making the belt move up an down the pullyes
new intermediate bearing fitted
and speed adjuster cover refitted
All back togeter with new high melting point grease
and et even works when I pushed the go button
:shock:
sounds quieter an I now know its all ok with the new bearing and belt
