The Bronze bushing are direct copies Of lortone QT ^^ or QT!2. Go to ASB Bearing , and click Flange bushing Inch size ( bronze standard) not metric size # FF 620 or any of the 620-01's . Th e Inside diameter is.502 size and use the thinest Outside diameter . then length . . I use 5/8 length . They will just snap in with a little effort. there gogd forever. The 7/8 Outside diameter may be a little to Thick check the bearing web site Sal

The lortone and the thumlers are designed to run Hot to the touch. If you feel yours gets Very hot?. the problem my be dust or dirt Getting sucked in and left to mix with The oil lube. this will get the motor slugish or a slow start until it warms up. A easy fix s to remove the motor and soak it in Mineral sprits overnight. in the morning Remove and shake out the excess and let air dry. Once dry Re oil lightly. Remember do not plug in while in the mineral sprits. Sal

The SD t3 was the star diamond swan song before being purchased. It looks good but It is a Plastic gear machine Like the later sears. There are no parts especially the Plastic gears to be found Shapeways a 3D printer on the web has Gears. . . I purchased 2 relacement and work fine .But the Overload of Rock. will ruin the plastic grers. Sal

I have used that Hose to Recover some shafts. But There is a Lot of leeway in there 1/2". If your shaft is .500-.502 they are Loose. But some are .510 They will fit better. If you bring the shaft to the store and try different one's You will get a Better fit

Unfortunately there is No way to protect against Scammers. Scammers are On all websites on Various Forums. . They will Post and post Until There Ready. . Phony names, Po Box, . and such. The old Saying still is True, If the deal Is too good to be true It's Not Most Other forums Have a Deadbeat Topic to try to Keep Track of Them.. They just keep Coming Back Because It's easy to Get someone to Buy or sell
