After reading several coments where turning the knob from end to end, I came up
with a question! What if once a month or so we turned the knob from end to
end, would it help keep the lube distributed more evenly, and prolong life of
the PTO?
What do you think?
I know from a ball bearing course I attended years ago, that a ball bearing can
go bad sitting on a shelf. They need to be rotated every so often for maximum
life. The man giving the talk that day, said even car wheel bearings can and
will go bad if left sitting in one place too long. Just a thought,
