Mercury balancers are good as long as it's not the real "mercury" in it. Even though it works the best, and if you don't care about the personal health risks, the liabilities are not worth it. They work, but if you have a tire way out or coming apart, it will mask it until things get bad.
If it is a front tire out, that left to right free play will multiply the problem.
I would be willing to bet the radial coming apart had something to do with the geared hub damage. 1 friend in Vegas has 500,000 miles on his '93 and has replaced leaking seals but no other hub issues... Taken care of their kinda bullet proof.
Keep us posted...
500,000????? I have 60k! 6-0 and probably 60 problems in the last 2 years. I cant wait until this is where it should be.
