[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 6287109, member: 20385"] Heat burns out bearings, but the exact cause of the heat has to be determined. Several possibilities exist when it comes to chainsaws or any other mechanical device: excess force, lack of lubrication, foreign particles, etc. On the clutch side of a chain saw, I've seen saw operators drive the chain right through the rim sprocket, through the clutch drum, and into the needle bearing. The idea was to keep the chain tight and keep on cutting to get the job done. [/QUOTE]
