Well, I got the ram off. Took awhile to figure out the procedure.
I also ordered up some press in zerk fittings. Got 25 1/4" fittings for like $7 from ebay. If this works out I may swap the cups for zerks on my lathe.
The more I look at the filthy, sticky innards of this machine the more I want to take it down completely. I haven't found much in the way of instructions for this so I may just dive in blind and start removing parts. How wrong can it go?
I'll start a new thread here in a minute to document the process. I took 40 pics in the ram removal process.
Oh, are the ways supposed to be scraped on the ram? They are not scraped on my machine... Is that necessary, or just an upgrade?
