[TowerTalk] UST Sheaves

[Mike Ashby]

3 years ago had to replace bearings in HDX555 sheaves.  Went to Kaman Bearings and selected a sealed bearing to fit the shaft, took sheaves and bearings to machine shop and had shaft hole bored out to fit new heavier, waterproof bearings...........way, way less expensive than new sheaves.
