Hi Team,
grab the scan below while it is up. It looks a bit blurry but I believe it prints OK, please let me know and I will try and scan it again, this was a high res. scan so I do not know what else I can do to improve it.

Clearance front and rear brgs. is 0.005"-0.0085" with a max allowable of 0.015"

Standard front and rear journal dia. is 1.8120"-1.8125"

Cheers,
Eddie B.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
