Pouring a babbitt bearing

admin

Hi Everyone: My son, Will and I received a $6000 proposal to rebuild our turbine main shaft bearing. We decided to do the job ourselves. This is how we did it: http://frenchriverland.com/index.html I hope you and your families are healthy and prospering!! Sincerely, Bill Fay

Reply:Yikes, that's some project! That's great info, I've never seen a Babbitt bearing poured before, you guys are fearless and make it look easy. On top of all the work, the research for maintenance and upkeep must be mind numbing, too.
