Hello
I would put in the new auger motor with needle bearings! Like a car wheel bearing with all the little rollers, that is what needle bearings are!
Auger motors have sleeve bushings, and the better ball bearings but I have a friend with a Fahrenheit Furnace and the auger has an over hung load or a cantaliever effect which made a ball bearing auger motor leak grease around the shaft after only 1 month of use!! So he put the new needle bearing auger motor in and it has been working good all this season!
So what do you want in your stove?
