However, if you don't want to spend the money on buying an entirely new blower, you could always send in your blower & have it converted to a heavy-duty oil-fed unit. That conversion gets you the following:

-New Gearcase Seal
-New Impeller Seal
-New Input Seal
-New H/D Bearings (V-3 has standars bearings. V-2 H/D has heavy duty bearings that can be spun to a higher RPM)

I'll talk to the Service Department tomorrow & get a price on that service, as well.
Bump for price.
