Several years ago I bought really nice looking EE off eBay, turned out it was in a shop close where I live, so I get it home and
the drive not working, rigged up an external motor, worked fine. Testing it out it bored .003 taper { on the diameter } in three inches.
SO... there being no leg bolts for leveling I sold it. The spindle seemed smooth and tight. The guy that bought it wanted to test the bearings
so before he loaded it we took a 2X4 and pried up on the spindle nose....I think it was about 1000 pounds upward push, and the DI registered
perhaps one thou or a little less. He was satisfied that the bearings were OK so he bought it. Did I do the right thing ? what could I
have done ?
Thanks
