I know for a fact that that will help.=20

After reading several coments where turning the knob from end to =
end, I came up with a question! What if once a month or so we turned the =
knob from end to end, would it help keep the lube distributed more =
evenly, and prolong life of the PTO?
What do you think?
I know from a ball bearing course I attended years ago, that a ball =
bearing can go bad sitting on a shelf. They need to be rotated every so =
often for maximum life. The man giving the talk that day, said even car =
wheel bearings can and will go bad if left sitting in one place too =
long. Just a thought,=20
