Cross Drill End Bell
On the early machines circa 2007, before the taper mount, the casting had a very short shoulder that relied on a rubber washer to act as a slinger seal. This generally prevented oil from entering the motor. It worked fine for a lot of customers but some liquids drained at different rates invariably leading to leakage into the motor. Repairing the motor is as simple as replacing the bearings but to prevent future issues we recommend drilling a drain into the DE (drive end) end bell. The process is simple and can be accomplished on a drill press. Here's how I did it. I used a 17/64th drill but a 1/4" would have been fine. I used what was handy.
The dimensions are not super critical. I set this up by eye. You want to be in the center of the cast boss. There is a mark on this endbell that will help you locate center. To ensure the boss is perpendicular to the vise I measured up to the bearing retainer bolt holes. Finished hole. I then rotated the part in the vise and drill down to meet the other hole. Be careful not to go too deep or you'll go through. I ensured the hole was perpendicular using a drill in the side hole and a square against the vise. The hole was spot on.

This is the finished hole. Now if any oil get to the motor it will have a drain out the side of the motor. I needed to drill a new motor without taking it apart. Here is where you locate the drill. Drill carefully to a depth of 1.75
This is the finished hole. Now if any oil get to the motor it will have a drain out the side of the motor. I needed to drill a new motor without taking it apart. Here is where you locate the drill. Drill carefully to a depth of 1.75". Make sure it is straight.
Finished hole. Now flip the motor up on end and drill down to meet the hole drilled from the side. This is a close up of how the two holes should meet. Do not drill too deep.

Install the forsheda seal on the motor shaft and compress it so it is about 3/16 of an inch high.
