I have an old b&s no.2 universal mill and the table gib is dead frozen, I have had no luck at freeing the thing. I have been working with it for a week to try to free it and have had no luck. I have tried oil, heat and hydraulic porta power kit as well as a 20lb sledge hammer. I can see which is the small end so that tells me which way it needs to move to come free. Since I'm having no luck I thought I would see if anyone on here has ever successfully freed one and How? I have pounded on the small end with the 20lb sledge and a brass rod, I have heated the saddle while chilling the table with ice and I have tried brute force I currently have about 7500 psi just sitting on it I have had the hydraulics pumped up since last night and periodically walk by and lightly tap on it with a small ball peen hammer. I have been measuring the amount of table overhang on the right side since I started working on it and the measurement hasn't changed at all and frankly I'm running out of ideas that won't result in my new to me mill becoming new to the scrap yard.... fingers crossed....
