If you have not seen it yet then I suggest you go and take a look first,

Some FEW10’s have a sealed drum. 😉

Also the ones with the screwed drums can have either 30mm or 35mm bearings and shaft.

Both types of bearing kits are available but you cannot get a 30mm spider only the 35mm one.

Ring the customer and ask them if there is a black pump filter behind the lower front plinth. If there is then it has the sealed outer drum in it.

If it has a screwed drum then often a plastic drum pulley will point to a 30mm bearing machine but not always. 😉

The top concrete weight is a better guide, if you are familiar with the normal, early WMA top weight then the 30mm model has a much thicker weight. often much smoother as well.

Jim.

NB. When fitting bearings or drum rear half to standard WMA’s I would guess that I fit a drum spider on only 33{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of them.
