We're 30 miles from Cheshire salt mine years ago used to have Irish road salt because it's subsidised. Story was one ship loaded at the port went out to sea came back a few hours later, was never even unloaded just sat there 24 hours and same trip again. Wagons actually came straight from...

Class are out today it's definitely the rotor bearings one has only got the races left. Fitter said you can't always hear it but to check the temp of the bearing cap from inside the grain tank after 30 min. Thanks to everyone for your help hopefully this will solve our problems
