Blower noise..?

These old girls it is very common to get leaves and junk in them, and unfortunately the box has to come apart to clean it out.

I did this with mine, and it’s not too bad.
I lubed the end of the blower shaft while it was out and also drilled a tiny hole in the back of the blower motor so I can put a few drops of oil in that rear bushing with a syringe.
Smooth and quiet.
