Hard to turn Y axis

$

I have a 1979 Bridgeport Mill that I purchased from a company that completely rebuilt it from the ground up. It's my first milling machine by the way. My question is, should the Y axis turn 3 times harder than the X Axis? I know there is more weight on the Y Axis but didn't know if this is normal. I verified that the play on each axis is the same with the gibs. Thanks in advance.
