Happened to notice I wasn't getting any flow through the site glass the other day and decided to pull the filter. Lot's of crap/sediment in the bottom of the filter housing. Replaced the filter and still wasn't getting flow. Decided to pull the headstock cover and after a hour of messing with it figured out how it coupled to the input shaft. Pulled pump and found sheared spring pin on the pump shaft. Supposed to be a dowel pin. Haven't used the lathe a whole hell of a lot since I powered it up, but still hoping I didn't do any lasting damage. Going to replace the spring pin with the correct dowel pin. What is the best way to test spindle bearing wear? Half tempted to chuck up a long price of bar stock and apply some force and measure the chuck with an indicator. Any ideas would be great and much appreciated.
