Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well! This time, I'm sharing a situation with a CS54B compactor. The machine emits a loud humming noise only when it's compacting, but when it's moving normally, without vibrating, it doesn't make any noise. I think it's the large bearings inside the drum. I'd like your opinion; perhaps this has happened to someone else and we can share information. I would have liked to share a video of the machine, but I don't think it's possible to attach videos.

Hello dear friends, I hope you're all well.
I saw your post, and my machine did have bearing problems. We installed new bearings and the problem was solved.
In my country, those bearings are quite expensive; I hope they last longer than the ones that failed.
Greetings from Uruguay!
