I'm cleaning up a Hammond WD-6 carbide grinder I bought at auction. I'm going to replace the motor bearings. One side had a 204 with 2 preload/wave spring washers and the other had a 5204 and one shim. The end caps have felt washers that run on bushings that mate up with the inner race of the bearing, both are different lengths. I assume the wheel butts up against the bushing.
Maybe there is someone here that has taken one of these apart. I can't find any parts diagram on the web.
What would be the reason for two different bearings? Would two double row be better than one? I was thinking on using two 5204's and machining a new bush for the one side.
Any thoughts?
