There are uprated bearings which are a good idea also.

Post back to the list on what you did and how it worked.

There are several places to get parts or repairs done. Here is one vendor.

After my experience with Stiegemeier, I would be very reluctant to send anyone there. I had a very distasteful transaction with him. He promised to do certain work
for the charges and when I asked about why it wasn't done, he got very huffy and
turned me on to whoever his relative is (daughter, sister, or mother) who quickly told
me I was a pain in their *** (just for asking - previously I was described as a very good customer) and didn't want to speak to me again, so I hope you understand. After paying $1,295.00 I felt it was my priviledge to ask questions about work not done.

I sincerely agree with you ttwotees...the customer who shelled out nearly 2 grand is always right. Stiegmier should have put the work order and costs in writing prior to touching the blower.
