Ok, I got my Logan home today and I'm reading .0050" movement on the chuck as I rotate it by hand. Is this OK? Seems like a lot to me. The guy I bought it from said that the bearing preload might need to be tightened after transport. I haven't even cracked up the manual yet. Will see if I can figure it out in the morning.
How would you guys go about getting a lathe out of the back of truck by yourself? You can see how I did it, looks like a kludge. Had to let the air out of the tires and load the tailgate full of bricks to get into the garage, then air the tires back up and get as close to the rafters (with temporary shoring) as possible, then chain it off to the comalong jack, and lift it as high as it would go (not high enough) let the air out again, drive out, then let it down.
