. My name is Mike Mars,
I am a state licensed plumber, plumbing contractor and backflow inspector in Arizona and Illinois.
I have been in business for 35 years.
Well folks, here is the impossible. I asked a friend (in town plumber), next time he is by Marvin, get me a couple bearings for my k-50. Heck, I was expecting $10-$15 each but more like $65 each (needed 2). After that shock (my mind is in the wrong century). Now I had to work on taking out the old and installing the new. I have never seen something like this before, I mean, I've seen these key's and key way's give problems before, but never like this. Tomorrow I will examine for more damage.
