Now my headstock hums like a well-oiled machine. Probably because it _is_ a well-oiled machine. :D
Now keep it 'well oiled'!:):):):):):):)

Remember 10 operating hours!

Hi,

New to the forum and this is a fairly old topic but it’s EXACTLY my experience with my used mark v. Same motor and all. Can anyone point me in the direction for the correct replacement bearings? It’s already disassembled and I’m about to pull the bad one, just can’t figure out what to order as a replacement.

Thanks!
Dan

The output shaft bearing is 17 x 40 x 12. 6203-2rs recommended.

The back end bearing is 5/8" x 40 x 12. 6203-2rs-10.

Metric except for the 5/8"

ID x OD x THICK
