| 25 forum posts | ah ok ill bear that in mind will be ordering one when i get paid i have noticed that im having to topup the countershaft oil far more frequently than the motor or headstock and when i removed the guard i find that it is leaking out of the bearings :/ i havent dismantled it yet to get a good look yet but i cannot feel any side to side freeplay in it, i took the tension off the shaft to headstock belt but not the motor to shaft belt but its not incredibly tight. does anyone else have leakage without performance issues ? it isnt particularly noisy or anything :/ |

| 7227 forum posts 21 photos | Lacking any form of oil seal, oil will find its way out through the clearance between shaft and the oilite bushes.On my, at least secondhand, ML7 there was a leak from the countershaft, but stripping it revealed the shaft to be badly scored and worn. A new countershaft and oilite bushes reduced the problem considerably. Howard. |
they seem to be quite cheap if bought from germany Please login to post a reply.
