I've watched probably over 20 videos doing this and never noticed it. I found your video first trying to see if it was supposed to be there and noticed yours had it and what a sigh of relief that was to see. I also noticed my oil drain tube didn't free spin most the way in like most have shown. I did use John Deere parts but maybe it was cause I used some high heat sealant. Anyways thanks for the video!

    Are you planning on adding the second system to pull air from home to attic to cool attic even more? I see the pourpuse of the attic fan, I am not really sure about the House fan, unless temps outside are lower than what you usually want to keep your AC at i see no use for it. Maybe if you know youre gone the whole day and had your AC off and want to quickly bring down the temp of house and attic before running your AC but otherwise not sure.

      @nhbountyhunter 2 місяці тому

      ​@@jacobraml3236no no no no. These are sealed not shielded bearings. Sealed bearings use rubber or plastic and are meant to keep out solid debris only. The pressure of the grease gun is more than enough to overcome the seal when pumping in new grease. Those bearings are literally designed for purposes like this. The seal will move out of the way letting in the grease. Do the experiment yourself. Take off a wheel remove the bearings, clean out all the grease in the bearings, reinstall the bearings, and then regrease. Then open up one of the seals and you will see your new grease inside of the bearing. Shielded bearings use a metal ring that completely seals everything in and out.
