I should have mentioned the beam axle was installed in 1849, not sure if the bearing bronzes have ever been replaced on the beam axle. In my time (about 15 years) I have only machined one half bearing on a pump rod that had dirt blocking the oilway, we cleaned the journal surface with wet and dry about 800 grit and reassembled, no problem since.
it is the regular oiling and keeping dirt out that keeps old stuff running. http://www.middleton-leawood.org.uk/leawood/photos.html Dave Caroline ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
