Tnx Pete,
The thrust bearing is not needed the rotor is a Ham IV, it can handle 
800 #s and my antennas on it weigh less than 150#s. I am kicking my self 
for putting in in the system.

My rotor is in the middle of its range. It will turn 5 degrees west from 
north and then turn to 5 degrees East from north. The rotor was new it 
turned 360 degrees on my test bench. That is my basis fot the jammed 
bearing.

anyone with thoughts about this?
