Hyatt bearings. Ifg I remember, they were in seperate carriers, bolted to the mainframe. I converted one from Hyatt to Babbitt one time. Dug the Hyatts out of the carriers, and poured those with babbitt. Also installed grease zerks. There was like 9 or 11 of them or something like that. Just say a bunch.

You're right about that windy Bob mine has babbitt and I still remember when me and my brother poured the bearings and it was a bunch,i believe it took us most of the day.

Well I've been able to get a little bit more done. The weather hasn't been that bad no snow mid thirties so i built some stands on casters and a hinge for the Stover tower.

Looks good Dan. Will you have enough head room to stand it with the wheel?

Your propane heater should make your "barn" tolerable in mid 30's weather
