Thanks for the tips Matt! I'll take it slow... Pics to follow when I do it.

you're welcome Just use the smallest prying tool that'll do the job and you'll be fine. You can even use the same tool to dig the gunk out of the bearings so that the degreaser works faster. Just make sure to flush it all out afterwards (hence the WD40 rinse). I've done it a bunch of time on sealed bearings on my bikes. It's not quite as good as new bearings as they don't last quite as long before they get rough again, but that is with being pounded, twisted and immersed in gritty water on a regular basis!

I got the spindle out of the quill with the new 20 ton shop press I got at the local HF store. Now I need to go get a blind bearing puller to get the bearings out of the quill.The bearings are shielded with metal, not sealed with rubber. Ive seen videos were the shield was pried out like you are describing Matt. I will try it. The bearings in the quill are Federal 1205 RR... i found those to be fairly common. The bearings on the pulley stack are New Departure 1206. I found an equivalent Federal 1206 M. So if I mess up the shields, I feel good about getting new bearings, which I might do anyway.

Got the bearings out. The ones in the quill seem to be in decent shape. The ones in the pulley stack, that's another story...




I'm going to replace all of them with SKFs...

Refurbished the chuck...

New SKFs arrived today, so I mounted them. Was very pleased to see them stamped USA!

For the record, the ones in the pulley stack are 6206.2Z and the spindle bearings are 6205.2Z

Very nice indeed. Those Jacobs chicks really scrub up well too

Thanks Matt. Should have it done this weekend except for the data plates... Still have some things I want to do with it, but it will be functional!

Got everything together and drilled my first holes. Had to get brackets to mount a tow bar to the Scout so I can move it into the garage.

1/2" holes into 3/8" thick steel. When through it like a hot knife through butter...

great job, that must have felt awesome! I went from a hand drill to a WT 15in and it was similarly impressive. I assume it's predecessor is on the ground behind it? Anything left to do or is it all done? Don't forget the "money" shots

Thanks Matt. It was a great feeling! She ran smooth and quiet too! The VFD made more noise than the drill...

Still have to clean up and mount the plates and make some new handles. Other than that, she's done. I'll get some more pics up this weekend.
