I think I have identified a latent defect that is lubrification related. As a shaft surely it should go roundy-roundy. I think its use in upy-downy or iny-outy applications would not establish an oil wedge. It may, of course, be provided with a suitable lubrification system for a rod but that its feeding wick has not been properly dipped.
I have no doubt that by now the surface will have become hardened and will have to be put to the grinder before it can be returned to service. Just cooling a run bearing is no cure although that might explain the odd aroma around the manoeuvring platform.
