What was found
DURING AN INSPECTION CHECK ON THE SWASH PLATE THE FRICTION WAS NOTED AS VERY TIGHT. UPON DISASSEMBLY, IT WAS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE FOUR BEARINGS RIDING ON THE SUPPORT HAD LOST IT'S 'COATING' ENTIRELY. THE RESULTING METAL/METAL CONTACT WORE INTO THE SUPPORT, CAUSING THE FRICTION TO STIFFEN. THE SUPPORT AND ALL FOUR BEARINGS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY SCRAPPED.
