I rebuilt my LOGAN 400 a few years back. I also built a variable frequency drive and installed that at the same time.
The jack shaft Has new bronze bushings and I made a new SS shaft for it to overhang farther for the larger Baldor 3PH motor.
The jackshaft assy runs smokin hot. It overheats is 5 min at moderate speed. I have oiled it and the belt tension is not high. Not totally sure why right now. Fits on the bushings seem fine and it turns freely until it overheats.
Has anyone ever installed ball bearings in their jackshaft? Looking for a solution or understanding on why.
