Super A Fan Bearing

Derrick In NY · Mar 13, 2010

The fan bearing on my Super A has started leaking oil and I was wondering if there is seal in there that can be replaced or how I can keep it from leaking so the bearing doesn"t run dry.
Thanks, Derrick

Yes there is a seal in there but how tight is the fan shaft?

Centrifugal force keeps the oil from leaking, not the seal. You may have too much oil in the chamber. To fill it, turn the fill opening to the side and fill with oil. Then turn the fill opening down and let the excess drain. There is a stand pipe(provided it is still in there as designed) in the chamber to let oil be at correct level when drained with the fill opening at the bottom. Then put the screw back in the fill hole. There is supposed to be a gasket on the fill screw. If that is missing, could cause leak. When running, centrifugal force keeps the oil away from the shaft seal.
