Quote: Joe,

A screaming bearing on those motor many times only means the bearing is dried out. Try dripping a few drops of a heavy motor oil into the well that is at the base of the gear on top of the motor. With luck this heavy oil will soften the dried lube in the bearing after running it for a few minutes. I have used this method several times and have never had to replace the bearing.

Thanks for the tip. I did put a few drops of Tri-Flow down there and that seems to have helped. A couple more drops of motor oil might do the trick.
