That's a big mount Rob! Lookin good as far as I can tell. Though that is hardly an endorsement since I'm ignorant of mechanical stuff and easily impressed (grin).
There was earlier discussion of ball bearings for big mounts. Not exactly new tech, but of course brass bearings have served well even longer, at least since the age of steam.
Since I don't know nothin about the topic and would like to learn... Am curious what factors made you decide to use brass bearings with grease fittings, rather than ball bearings? Seems either would work fine. Just curious about design reasoning in this application.
