Caribou,
One thing that I did with my ML extractor was remove the super magnets from an old hard drive, be careful with them and keep them apart-I have received a few blood blisters when they snapped together on my fingers, and glued one on the lid where when it is open, the magnet hold the lid up. I put the other one on the leg and use it to hold the bearing and leg screws.
The reason I put the bearing on the magnet is because I take the motor and basket off of the drum and use the drum as a settelling tank. It holds 500 pounds of honey. Clean it out and don't forget to clean out the grease and remove the bearing, plug it on the magnet. Be sure to get some food grade grease for when you put it back together
Put your honey in it, cover it with plastic and let it sit for a week, then bottle your jars right from the valve.
