My brother and I had the franchise on VM warranty repairs from 1955 till they
went out of business. During that time we found that the biggest cause for
your problem is one of two things. Either the washer and or circular bearing is
missing from the centerpost. Maybe both are gone. Second and this I would do
immediately is to clean it with a spray degreaser. Old grease can cause a lot
of problems. Remember, you can file metal off but you can't put it back. Hollis
