Breaking My Roundhead Into Sections??

Just removed the lead screw & main feed rod from my round head today. Both of these need to be removed before the carriage will breakdown/come off. You only partially disassemble the QCGB.
 
Dynafoiler you now just have to remove the apron easy put a block under it to stop it falling when you remove the cap screws check the two cast iron bushes for the leads screw mine was well worn and the half nut the rest should be fine
 
Kroll,

The apron is removed to get to the carriage way block. Check the slop between ur bronze bushings and shafts in the apron. Mine are sloppy which caused gear wear. The bushing that the lead screw runs thru are also bad.

Enjoy,
Josh
 
Someone decided to make a steel half nut for mine. Good thing it was machined wrong & didn't get used.
 
Thanks guys for the heads up,and Dynafoiler please keeps posting your progress would love to keep up.Its the Labor day weekend so maybe I can get started on mine and figure out how to post some pics
 
Kroll once you bite the bullet and make a start you'll find out how easy
 
Thanks Kiwi,I do feel better since talking with ya'll just lots of good support.Trying to get my little shop clean up,put away some of my other projects then just get started.
 
Guys before I get started on breaking it down,though I would try and post some pics before I get started.Which I already finish the cabinet cause once the bed is done I want to mount it so that much will be off my work bench.Again thanks for all the help---kroll
