On that gearbox there are actually only two bearings on that shaft, only one in the gearbox, but thats kind of a special situation for the bevel gearbox. We used the same output shaft set up this year and had three bearings on the shaft and didn't have any problems with binding. I don't think thats from slop in the pulley hex because it's fairly tight.

Bearing set up:
There's a flanged bearing on the outside of the box beam up against the wheel, and the bearings in the gearbox. The end of the gearbox shaft is threaded with a 1/4-20 thread and a bolt through the outer part of the shaft holding the wheel and shaft in.
