Brew, the lubricator found the shaft slipping in the bearing about 9mos. ago- he told them- you need to fix this!- The shaft and drum assy. carries the whole weight of the drag chains and the load of chips dumped on it ( 40,000 lbs. of chips in each semi trailer load) - every 20 min./ most every day-
Yea, it sees a lot of weight!
