I recently purchased an old Mott flail mower, model M255 according to the tag. The guy I bought it from didn’t know much about it. I replaced the drive belt and greased it but noticed a small round opening on the drive shaft cover between the gear box and the belt pulley. It’s obviously a machined opening, I’m just not sure it’s a vent hole or an access opening that I need to fabricate a cover for the opening. It appears to have some grease inside it. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Also where is a good place to buy replacement parts like bearings for the Mott flail mowers? I haven’t had much luck just searching online yet.

They got bought out by Alamo, so I’d speak to a dealer.

If you can get numbers off a ball or tapered roller bearing, usually those can be cross referenced easily.
