So heres the rebuild pics as discussed in jjtjr's thread. I really did just start out one morning cleaning it up just a little bit and things kinda got out of hand. I don't have a ton of good before pics so sorry about that.

I purchased the mill off eBay and the condition matched the description so I was pretty happy with that. I had been looking at all the rebuild threads here and other sites and that really pushed me to do a complete rebuild on it.

One of the biggest problems (obviously) in rebuilding any machine as you can see in the pics is cleaning the 40 years of way oil, cutting oil, grease and chips off of and out of everything.

Here's a video on how we removed the head.

This head was fun to take a part. Even though I was using a tear down guide it takes some time to figure it out.

As a whole the machine didn't look that bad to me. A little cleaning here and there was all it needed. Once I started and as you can see in the pics. It really was grubby.

I have a ton more pics of the tear down but I think you guys get the idea so on to the fun stuff painting and rebuilding.
 
The first part I worked on was the quill housing. The factory fill was chipped badly in many places so I just sand blasted it, patched the deep pits with spot puddy, and used a lot of high build primer.

2K Primer from a can. This stuffs pretty good. Its a true 2 component primer.

Thanks Tamper84! More pics are coming. Had the Millrite for about ten years. It's a great mill and we have used it a ton. The kid does most of his projects on it now. He claims it as his.

In this pic he's cleaning up the backlash bushing on the x axis after converting it to the two piece design.
