The Logan 200 has two bearings in the headstock. The bearing on the chuck end is a double row bearing with preload built in. The other one is a normal single row bearing. Unlike many lathes, they cannot be adjusted. If the bearings are shot, they have to be replaced. The
original double row part was made by New Departure and is no longer available. Logan sells a replacement part which if I remember correctly costs about $200.00. Its my understanding that these bearings cannot be purchased over the counter from a bearing supply house and there is no cross reference to the original New Departure bearing.
Some folks have suceeded in cleaning out the old grease and repacking those bearings, but if it's worn out it will need to be replaced.
