Slightly O.T. someone looking for VN#12 head gears

reggie_obe · Oct 14, 2021

Can't find the post, but I recall that there ( maybe ) was a guy looking for parts for his machine.
Anyone else remember the post? I think t was bevel gears?
I got a line on a #12 and might buy an additional mill to part out so that others may be repaired.

My VN is still setting there mocking me every time I walk by, can't remember model# but is has munched bevel gears. I have some Boston gears that might work but have not found the time to machine them to fit, will require some mock up to see if they will even work, and I have no way to broach the 2 keyways 180 degrees apart on the larger gear.

What info do you need?

Model# 1R3-22

Was trying to find the OP. He posted a couple of weeks after I witnessed a #12 being smashed. I was able to grab a few parts, some tooling and a subhead.
Had I known, I would have bought and parted the machine.
I see another #12 coming up for auction.

No idea if #12 gears would fit my machine, but if you get a machine for parts and the OP does not need them, send me some dimensions.
