The spindle has a taper roller bearing 1985 / 1920 on the tail end of the shaft and a tapered brass bearing on the chuck end both bearings have the minor dia towards the center of the shaft, it also has a thrust ball bearing race at the very tail end of the shaft that an adjuster sleeve bears on to.
I only replaced the taper roller bearing as the others appeared fine
