My problem, if I have any winds over, say 10 mph, the Ham 4 stalls Ray, N6VR I used to have an MA550 with a Ham-M, still working after 50 years! The mounting of the rotor on the base is such that it can be out of alignment and bind. You might want to check out this possibility. If you remove the rotor, you should be able to turn the mast by hand. If you can do this, then the bearings are not the problem.
