I have the WoodMaster 2675 drum sander and have had no problems until about 30 min ago. I keep blowing the fuse on the conveyor motor, I've taken all loads off of it (even disconnected the drive chain) and it still blows it. I've turned the drive gear freehand and going forward it rotates fairly smooth and easy with the normal resistance of the gear box however when rotating it in the reverse direction it is rather tight and seems to be trying to lock up (and yes that is the direction in which the fuse blows).
My question is this, while the gear box can be opened (I haven't yet) there does not appear to be any lubricant level indicator nor do I know what type to use, has anyone had this problem before?
The owners manual does not have anything in it in regards to preventative service and there is nothing on the web site I can find. They are closed for the evening so I hoped to get some advice here.
Thanks in advance
