right hand main brg on early e did not have floating outer race, if the flanges arent loosened when the shaft is moved it will run hot. also the main shafts on those combines e and k always seemed to get about a half acre of dirt and chaff around the main shaft if the shoe. seal was bad, we used to take a yard stick between fann housings from the bottom plus a special hook.to dig the chaff out...if you run in 1st wide open varible speed and the mainshaft pulley is together in the center hub the right bearing inner and outer will run hot till their gone all bearings will run warm if overfilled with grease also,as some chopper bearings do when new til the grease oozes out the seal
