Just brought home a 1941 Monarch 16 CY. As part of the taper attachment removal (to lighten the load before i lift if off of my trailer) I removed the compound and the cross slide. I found what looks to be a couple of pieces of shim stock in the cross slide leadscrew "trough" which i'm guessing was shimming the cross slide tapered gib. The compound tapered gib had a shim running its' full length. Is this common practice? Is this a sign of extreme wear?
I've seen & read some of the material on scraping and i'm thinking scraping in the cross slide, the compound or both would be nice scraping projects if i can find the time to attend one of the classes.
