The RES12 is running fine with some load to it, as shown in the picture.
The problem I am having is a lot of oil is coming out of the exhaust. This is caused by the heads of six bolts I used around the
bearing carrier to hold the AL plate to the PTO end housing. Even with 6mm bolts, both oil seals run over the heads pumping oil
toward the side seal.
I will go back to my original design, which leaves the running surface untouched.
This kind of things happen when you do not do your home work.
