Do you have excess runout or endplay in your bearings? Something is letting a stress load transfer to that point on the shaft. Does it get any impact loading dirt in the hopper from other parts of the machine?
No Bill,everything is tight,no endplay whatsoever,new housing and pilot shaft bearings,tight in their bores.If anything,I baby the machine,it gets loaded from my 3' backhoe bucket,it's designed for a 8' loader bucket,so no,with the grizzly, there is no heavy impact loading.
