K&t feed problem

Heavymetal70 · Feb 18, 2018

I dug into the feed system on my 3CH and found more of a problem than I was hoping for. The feeds were intermittent and I also had some bearing noise coming from the feed motor housing. I'm hoping that someone has a parts machine or knows of one. If I can't find parts than I'll be looking for a route to repair these issues. What I'm looking for is the drive assembly mounted to the knee with the electric motor. It seems that moisture got into the rear of this assembly and also oil line was plugged with sludge. Most things servived but damage was done. If anyone has or knows of a drive assembly please message me. I'm in NE Ohio but do travel. Thank you, Matt

Does anyone know if a 3CSM would use the same drive system? Found a new worm wheel for a CSM. Has same no. of teeth and waiting to get better measurements on part. I tried downloading CSM parts book from VM, but only 11 pages download out of 45 for some reason.

Matt,

I don't know if you have tried the forum for K&T and other heavy American iron. (here is a link: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/cincinnati-milacron-kearney-trecker-vn-usa-heavy-iron/ )

I had quite a bit of help over there when I was sorting feed troubles with my K&T 2HL.

Good luck, Craig
