Not much progress yet.
My research indicates that the LL designator is merely a bookmark in the evolution of these machines. This machine seems to be a variant. Based on the speed and gearbox, the column and gearbox are pre LL, the rest of the machine is post LL. It makes me wonder if they were aging their columns and had a backlog of columns they need to use up.
The 5 coats of paint is soaking up LOTS of orange paint stripper. Evaporust is slowly removing the rust spot on the ways.
The table trip lever that was stuck is now free and seems to shift normally.
I haven't removed the table yet. I completed the procedure in the manual but there are conflicts. No big thing, just don't to damage anything by getting in a hurry.
I have questions that I hope someone can help answer.
The LL should have an Arbor Lock type system on it. This one doesn't have the outer locking ring, nor does it have a draw bolt. Are the draw bolt/arbor/spindle a single piece?
I would also like to identify the two (of 4) hardened bars that I found in the coolant tank. There are no numbers so they are probably not mfg by Cincinnati.
And lastly, what is the clamp on the overarm used for?
Wow thats a really bad pic. I will get another today.
