Gene Glenn asks :

> Do you recommend the earlier larger cross shaft bushings and the grease
fitting cross shaft.  Is earlier better.

Gene, your ISP has evidently identified my ISP as a spammer, my reply to you
bounced.  Hopefully this is of general enough interest that others won't
mind if I answer on the list :

Yeah, I do.  Can't say I've done a head-to-head comparison, but that area
definitely wears, and having more area and an occasional shot of grease has
got to help it live longer.  Using a later shaft and drilling it for grease
fittings is even better, as the early shaft has a groove that reduces the
bearing surface.  But probably not worth the effort, especially since it's
the other end that wears first.
