Thanks-
When constructing a table motor drive I removed the left side X-support flange ( #33 ) and saw there was no ball bearing, only an oil port.
Someone on this forum had mentioned adding ball bearings to the table lead screw, and I didn't take the right side apart (or notice detail in the parts manual).
I am still wondering if using a motor drive will increase the friction or wear on the left side of the lead screw and will probably try to insert a bearing when re-doing the gear box assembly .. Thanks again for the comment.
