Hi Everyone!
Took apart my blower from the T-5 today to clean it and couldn't see any way of lubricating it and am wondering if anyone else has done this? I couldn't tell if the motor has sintered bronze sleeve bearings or sealed ball bearings as the motor has a double shaft with 2 blower wheels with little clearance between the blower wheels and the motor. I ended up reassembling and remounting the blower and it still runs smoothly and quietly..

There is a small fishmouth at the end of the motor housing that appears to have a tube or channel to the interior, I put some drops of oil in there on the old motor. If I think about it, I'll get some photos another day.
