my 150 did exactly the same last week,bearings went and all the fins ended up in the chip box.Lucky noone was hurt

bearings have gone twice in ours over past 18months,been told by gunn JCB the flywheel is warped by some numpty (previous owner) belting 7 shades out of it which has left it inbalanced,hence repeated bearing disasters.

spent alot on her now including new flywheel,fins,bearings anvils,carriers,shaft etc etc.Hope it does the trick
