Why are the bearings bad? You don't see that too often. What I have seen is water get inside and freeze up the shaft. I had to tear one apart a few years back and dry it out. Then reseal the bottom end. It still works to this day. Has it been bad for a while or did it just start acting up when the weather got cold?

One thing Crofts Power Equipment has moved about one block east. They are now on the corner of 500 west and 1500 South. Looks like a larger building then what they were in before.

I dont know why they went bad. The upper ones are just fine but the lower ones are all rusted out and in two pieces. i dont know that much about it but i got it all tore apart and think i can get it back in business if i can get the bearings. I will make a few phone calls tomorrow and get some coming. If all goes well I will be on the gorge soon[cool]

Hey thanks for the offer but i found a minn kota service guy in northern utah. He is going to send me new bearings in the mail i just got to send him 9 ot 10 bucks after i receive them[cool] I thought transactions like this were a thing of the past. It made my month talking to this guy[
][][][] IT feels alot better than buying them from some company back in Wisconsin (off the internet) for 23 plus 9 for shipping thanks again[signature]
