Thank you very much!

Glad I could help!

​@@10swatkinsWhere can they be ordered from?

Glad I could help!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks 👍

I think so too!

Any time!

Thank you sir!

Glad to help

Even I might like your shop tour !

@@millomweb thanks! Not sure how to let people know when I put a video up but I’ll try.

@@billdivine9501 Put a comment here - or another o new video of Steve's !

Thanks! Will do!

IT's a shame how some machines are mistreated :(

Hey, thanks There are a lot of us running around :) Guess My parents were just not that imaginative... But it's better than Moon Dog Watkins :)

As Don says... Keep at it :)

You bet!

I agree! They don't know about the dangers and walk around bare foot like the poor Pakistani Truckers :(

@@10swatkins lol i know that’s right

Glad you enjoyed it

That is a good solution!

That is Jenna... She is pound puppy that never had enough to eat :)

I was torn about keeping it, but I don't need three mills and I have plans for the Bridgeport waiting it's turn....

I don't think Rosie would like that very much!

Yep, that's Fluffy Butt.... Might I suggest to your wife that a Jack Hammer might work....

IT slips my mind right now... IT's a 40 size with the longer threaded piece on the end....

@@10swatkins nice I’ll look into it it’s time for me to upgrade my old wells index anyway I learned my lesson with oddball spindle noses tho it has a bs9 taper tooling is hard to find for it

I think the glass would be much easier :)

@@10swatkins Time & again ? ! I wondered about filling them with a cleaning/flushing oil to clean the existing glass !

@@millomweb IF you can't buy one that is your next best choice... Maybe a sonic cleaner with purple power would do an acceptable job... DO IT OUTSIDE of course, that stuff is nasty!

@@10swatkins Maybe remove the existing one, thread the hole and make a sleeve to fit a smaller one that screws into the existing hole - easier then to get out and clean the glass !

Pretty much.... One exception is the type of window that really is a window... Axelson lathes have a small window near the top of the head that really is just a window. There is a small oil line behind the window that drips oil as the machine is running. You can see the drops and that tells you the oil pump is running..

@@10swatkins Thank you for this followup.

Sorry No idea right now..

The whole assembly or just the handle?

@@10swatkins Just the handle would be sufficient. That is missing, and I think there might be part of the locking fork that goes in the handle broke off as well.

@@nschelling6420 The illustrated parts manual has a drawing of the bar-draw bolt. Get a three step step ladder and take the cover off the bar-draw bolt. You will see the simple mechanism. The bar-draw bolt and knob was missing off my 19611D. I made a bar draw bolt out of some 1/2" plate I had laying around based on the drawing. I turned a knob out of aluminum. The parts manuals are available on the internet. If there was a way to post a picture I would. Note that the knob for the bar-draw bolt prevents accidental motor engagement when the bar-draw bolt is slid onto the flats of the bar-draw. The knob is 1.5" in diameter where it engages in the S position of the L-S-R on my 1960 or 1961 1D. The L-S-R switch on my 1D has a round area in the S position that the knob slides into. You cannot make L or R happen until you pull the bar-draw bolt out and off the flats of the draw bolt. You cannot engage the bar-draw bolt when the motor switch is in L or R. I do see some 1Ds do not have this safety feature to prevent motor engagement. Note that I am not a machinist, never played on in real life. Making or fixing this feature is a pretty simple task. I do need to take everything apart to change the leaking oil seal. Other issues with my 1D but I have made a few things and fixed a few things.

That's because I'm good enough not to have to have a dog check my work! :) I hate to tell you this, after all these years, But Baily can't read a tape measure :)

She was a pound puppy that I think never had enough food in her younger years... She is lumpy from a coyote attack years ago :( She is about 12 now...

@@10swatkins coyotes got my baby also. 2nd time they killed her. So if necessary i will shoot a coyote off the neighbors front porch.

I way oil from my Chevron Distributor here in town, buy it in 5 gallon pails, mainly because it is close and cheaper. (They also have the oil I use in the planer in 55 gallon drums :) ) Their way oil does not smell like 90 weight gear lube. Way oil has additives to make it stickie so that it sticks to the parts and reduce, or eliminate, stick-slip in machine tools. Stick-slip is not good :)

@@10swatkins I have an economy lawn and garden tractor made in the 69-70 time frame and it needs a really thick oil in the transmissions 95-140 gear oil is not thick enough to slow the gears in it to allow you to shift gears. Was thinking of mixing grease in with the oil , any thoughts on the subject?

@@tacticalrabbit308 Even though I slept at a Holliday Inn last night I am not up on oil or their additives and I would hate to hurt your transmission... I can tell you that gear lube is thicker than way oil...

@@tacticalrabbit308 Add a can of STP to the oil to thicken it up! Also makes a good tackifiers to ISO68 oil turning it into poor man's way lube.

@@tacticalrabbit308 Check on Snapper 00-grease. Some draglines used to use Texaco Marfak aluminum soap gun grease when the gear oil would bypass the seals and run out.

I scraped off all the skin about the size of a quarter.. IT's taken a long time to grow it back and it is slowly getting there :) Should have gotten a skin graft ...

@@10swatkins OK Thanks, thought it might be something worst. Glad it is healing.
