Hi all. By way of introduction, I am Peter. I have a small farm in central Ontario, and by some strange quirck of fate, I stumbled across this at a yard sale. Like it says in my profile, my hobby is fixing farm equipment, but the last machine work I did was in high school a LONG time ago.. This is all essentially new to me, but I am pretty handy, and not afraid to break things in the name of science.
First the good
so, as you can see it is a 9 inch B serial number 27244 NBR 9. It is not complete, there is only one extra gear (stamped 72), some tool holders, a couple of keys, and a whole bunch of tool steel blanks but more on that later.
Now the bad
So I need a new drive assembly. Or at least a new pulley, but the shaft is bent, so by the time I get the shaft straightened, a new pulley etc, etc, I may be better off buying a whole new drive setup. Yes? No?
Now the ugly.......tons of questions
Where can I get oilers from - there is only one surviving oiler with lid on the whole affair
Where can I get a set of gears for threading from
How do I take the chuck off
Are gear covers available anywhere (I would rather not get caught up in all that whirling goodness)
Is the rebuild kit/manual currently offered on e-Bay worth the money
Anyone near Peterborough willing to wander over a help out (for a suitable supply of "helping out" fluid , of course)
Is there a set up manual or set of specs available
What newby questions am I missing
Thanks and hope to hear from one and all soon
