So, I've been having problems with what I thought were the bearings in my headstock. The spindle would be very hard to turn and was getting to the point that the motor would not even turn it. When it was being run, the outside of the headstock would be almost too hot to touch. I thought that the bearings were going bad, so I took the headstock apart and found that the drive pully has a screw in it that holds it onto the spindle. This screw was loose and was the culprit for all that was going wrong. Everything works great now, I just hope I didn't do any damage to the bearings now because of the excessive heat.
Just some information I thought I would pass along. Maybe help someone out in the future. This is something I now know to keep an eye on in the future.
