[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 741507, member: 175144"] If the bolt and steel plates are of good quality then you have only the problem with the motor design, the ball race is the weak part in many designs. Whilst its slightly more work for you, my suggestion would be to weld a bracket to the main mount, just under the lower polarmount bearing. Then make up a collar for the post, and mount the elevation motor forward of the pole so it always runs in compression. [/QUOTE]
