I was trueing some tires last night and my Hudy truer started making a kind of growling sound and started pulling more amps than usual. At that point I cleaned all the tire residue off the unit, removed the belts and pulleys and cleaned everything up. I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, the drum shaft spun freely as did the shaft the tire/wheel mounts on. I reassembled and lubed everything. The unit appeared to operate normally so started trueing a tire and left the shop for a bit. When I returned the scraping noise was back even louder and the unit was drawing over 3.0 amps whereas it normally pulls around 1.5 amps unloaded. I shut it off and now the motor will not start without help and continues the excessive draw. Any ideas or suggestions would be extremely helpful at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Rico
