[R-390] IF sweep alignment

GE All:

Collins PTO in R390A ser 3981

I am hunting down all sources of friction in the KC change chain and 
decided to pull and inspect the PTO.  It is smooth but stiffer than I 
would expect with ball bearings.  So it is apart and looks to be in 
clean condition..pix on my blog site.

One thing I noticed is the stack follower rollers....the fiber side 
rolles fine.  The opposite side, the steel roller, does not roll at 
all.  It is greased lightly and the grease is still soft, but it looks 
like that roller should spin freely.  Is this correct?

Also, as the followers ride along the travel length of the stack shims, 
it would seem that both rollers should ride on the shims--in this case, 
the fiber side roller is not in contact with the stack.  The spring is 
in place and the arms for the followers are free. 

There was no rebuild sticker or data on the PTO.  the original Collins 
security sticker over the cover seam was intact..so I am the first to be 
inside since new I suspect.
