In the process of cleaning and checking finally got the 10ee running and able to turn parts. I now turned my attention to the tailstock.
I noticed when I bought the machine the tailstock handle would back out an inch or 2 but not push the chuck forward. Then the chuck would move. When retracting the handle would screw in and seat before the chuck would move. When the handle was run out you could push it against the tailstock housing and it would move forward.
Today I pulled the handle and found the thrust bearing missing most of the balls. But I think I am also missing a bushing or something.
2 questions
1. Has any one sourced a thrust bearing from somewhere other than Monarch?
McMaster car has one for a 12mm shaft or 1/2" shaft but the od on both are a little smaller than the monarch one.
2. What's missing? I found one pic and it looked like there was a bushing that abuts the thrust bearing and goes rearward toward the handle. I'm having problems identifying that mart on the old monarch blueprints.
Thanks in advance for any help.
