1960 Union BFT 80 Horizontal boring mill

collector · Mar 24, 2018

Hi guys
I am repairing the transmission on this boring mill and need a drawing of the transmission gear box. Some one has been in there and welded a gear to the spacer and it is just rattling around in there making one hell of a noise. Looking from the out side in a bearing or a bushing must be missing.On that gear. If someone has a manual can you post a picture.
Thanks Collector

I can't do links but if you look up - WMW|stores.lathes.co.uk the owner says he has manuals complete with drawings for that machine.

Regards Tyrone.

Hi Tyrone
Made contact with Tony and had the manual shipped by email in an hour.Now I can see that there should be a bushing or a sleeve in the gear.
Thanks Collector

That's great news. You can't beat having the drawings.

Hi, I know it is a bit cheeky but I have just bought a BFT63 (no idea what year but series 3) and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the plates on the two lower levers on the bottom front of the gearbox. Mine have worn away completely. I have not yet worked out what they are supposed to do. Any help gratefully received.
