Remove the sheath and the shaft. Wipe it all down to get the goo out and off. Apply a Thin Film only of grease and that should be all you need. My old Fordham motor heats up which is probably inner bearings. Anybody got a good used one for sale or trade? TahiTiki, Don't give up on the Palms. There are only Hundreds of varieties and Many are not carvable. Some are Great for carving. Look for Washingtonion, Coconut. Bottle, Sable or Cabbage Palms to name a few. The giant Royals are mush inside as are others. Good luck [ Edited by: Benzart on 2004-06-20 12:29 ]
