Hulk Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Hi Vpwilkie, welcome to the Forum! The wheel is belt driven? ...where there are pulleys on the motor and wheel shafts, and a belt that connects them? If so, there would be bearings in the motor and also bearings for the wheel shaft. If the noise is definitely coming from the motor, it may be possible to replace the motor bearings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vpwilkie Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Hey Hulk. Looking at my wheel. I found place on the bottom side with an O and a screw next to it. Can I oil it? Might fix the noise n make it last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Hard to say without picturing it. Does it look like a lubrication point? Any luck identifying where the noises are coming from? Potential noisemakers: motor - bearings, brushes, both; wheel shaft bearings and/or bushings; belt, belt pullies; any of the moving parts rubbing on something.

Vpwilkie Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Everyone I talk to says to find a new motor. Is that a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
