    As I understand, the monitor is powered from the smaller wire leaving the disconnect switch once the key is turned to the “run” position?

    Turntable grease seal

    I went to grease the machine the other day and when I greased the turn table the grease just fell out under the zerk, that's how I noticed the seal was gone. I remember a couple years ago the seal was sagging so I pushed it back in. Not sure when it fell out, this machine is used on a farm so...
