Hello.
Not a tractor question, but I have looked around online long enough and can't find what I need and I have never not gotten the information I need from people who use this site.
I have an add on wood furnace, and my blower motor has problems. Over the course of time, I have determined the shaft of the motor slides out of the motor enough so that the spinning blower hits the housing of the blower and it stops. I took the whole thing apart, and I see a bushing there that the shaft goes through. This is a Monarch add on, I am guessing it was built in the 70's? I have to add oil in the ports on it once in awhile, and there is a material there that holds the oil I guess and releases it over time to the shaft/bushing area. The shaft slides probably close to a half inch when I pull on it, I did learn that it should have no more than an eighth inch of play. I just cannot figure out how that shaft is supposed to stay in place. A new motor is $123, this one will do the job if I can keep the shaft in one place. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
