Upper Sheave Bearing

Going back to my post on the upper sheave bearing, according to Robinsons, ours was well shot - the telatemp should never go above 77 deg. Apparently the (UK) maintenance organisation that supplied and looks after our machine, didn't 'pre-grease' the bearing before fitment. The very high frequency vibration we had has now disappeared with the 6 hr-old U/S bearing being changed again.

Has anyone had any problems with these bearings or had telatemps change colour often?

I'm off for a long weekend around the country with the boss and our wives in it, so keeping fingers crossed for a trouble free time (and good weather!)
Cheers, WW
