So I picked up a green behemoth a couple of years ago and finally spun it after a few fixes. The good news is it runs and the inboard spindle spins straight and true. Unfortunately there is a vibration. The outboard wheel, which is about 10" diameter is frozen on the spindle. Someone tried to remove it and bent it a hair. Enough to make it intolerable for fine work. I have put liquid wrench on it and it is really frozen. As a last resort I will have to cut it off, because that spindle may have to be replaced. The wheel is aluminum. I haven't tried heating it up with a torch, worth a try. Looking for advice, but also your experience with your behemoths!
