I own a 62'EE that has been apart in my garage for years.
I started out doing a full restoration years back. Have had the bed reground (Schaffer) the carriage and cross turcited and scraped.
New class 7 (Franfer) spindle bearings along with a pair of angular contact bearings fro the end of the spindle....
Some questions: I have the Monarch CD and within is a section of the headstock, but ii is a single oil sight glass unit and mine has three.
The internals are a bit different.....
In specific the oil "slinger" at the rear of the rear spindle bearing.....
The question is which direction should this point? And what locates it in the housing...Is the outer just biased against the face of the rear bearing or?
Also, i seem to be missing the drive fro the mechanical tach....appears to be a square drive coupled to a blade , but i am not sure...anyone who could provide a sketch would be appreciated.
On the shaft that shifts the dog clutches for threading (EE2889), the rear end is grooved to allow oil to escape when it moves, should the groove be positioned up or down...?
Finally (for now) the rear spindle bearing on my machine was a double row , and i am replacing it with two precision angular contact bearings. (721OCTRDVLP4) should the bearings be
fit with the thrust side facing away from each other or facing each other?
Are the rear bearings setup with axial clearance in the housing and end cover to allow fro thermal expansion of the spindle?
Is there anything to know about the rear slinger, will the original setup work with the different bearing setup....anyone been here before?
Anyone have a good copy of the three glass head stock sections would be a great help...
Is the thickness of the gasket for the front of the spindle cover critical...anyone know the thickness of the original?
Does anyone use sealer with the gasket" perhaps something thin like aviation formula "Permaterx" or "Wellseal"?
Thanks in advance, all help greatly appreciated.
Cheers Ross
