I just wanted to get a picture of the inside of the drive housing before I started cleaning it out. All of the black crud in there is finely shredded v-belt material. Had the mill for several years now and I can't believe those bearings haven't crashed and burned. Not a drop of oil or grease to be found in them. They have been running dry the entire time.

I hadn't pulled the shaft out yet when I took the pic though.

I did get the correct bearings (sort of). I ordered Timken bearings. I got boxes that say Timken on them. The bearings inside are marked Fafnir. (Japan)

But they are the correct size, with double seals, so that is what I'm using.
