Hello Peter. This is an extremely valuable video. I'm about to replace the bearings in exactly the same lathe. Just a quick question. I see there are 3 bearings. Looks like 2 at the drive end and 1 bearing at the motor and belt end. Do the 2 bearings at the drive end butt up to each other, or is there a gap between the 2 bearings. I appreciate your maintenance videos and hope you can help me with my question. Best wishes, Richard
