Shaft wabbal
I put 2 new 3/16" x 16" shafts into two new stuffing tubes from Dumas that Ihad just installed in my Crockett and noticed one of them fit very tight and would not spin, I though it was the stuffing box so I reamed the bearings out some, opon futher inspection I found the shaft was bent one shafts end wabbaled about 3/32" and the other about 1/32" in either stuffing tube.
Questian, what is acceptal, I now also need to know whear to buy replacement bearings for the stuffing tubes, thanks, Randy.
