Can anyone recommend someone to repour ( if that's the correct term) babbitt bearings on a 30" jointer ( not mine)? The owner would like someone to come onsite. I'm guessing a 30" jointer is tough to move.

If you can't find anyone, Keith Rucker of VintageMachinery.org has a few videos about the process on his YouTube channel.:

Are the bearing shells removable from the jointer or are they part of the main casting? Is the jointer direct drive? If you elect to do it yourself, save the old babbitt to re-use.
