One being grease packed in the babbitt bearings, instead of oil and the other being a rear arbor flange alignment issue. Cleaning the grease out was a bear with the table on, so I decided to tear it down and go through it. Just got the correct wool for the wicks and got the bearings all shimmed and set up. I have been busy with work but, I just got to put a new 16" rip blade on it and cut some timber today. I will post some pictures soon, it might be hard to recognized now.
