Does anyone know where and how Part #75 lower spindle seal goes in to the quill? When I disassembled my quill there was no seal #75 in the quill. The only thing in there was a bunch of hardened grease under the spindle end cap part #74. When contacted PM. That is a part they told me to order. That alone does not surprise me, the whole inside of the head looks like this mill was a QC reject. The high low range shifting fork was broken off, instead of replacing it with a new fork arm they just ground off the Brocken end drove a roll spring pin in a drilled hole then hammered over one en, see picture. None of the small shaft bearings are a press fit. They just feel off when I pulled the top. These are the only seals on the spindle inside the gear box. No wonder it was leaking a cup of oil a day. After use. Never again!

These are the seals I was told to order after sending my serial # and date of manufacture. Have no idea how the big seal goes under the spindle end cap.

P.S. Found out today the large seal Part#75 is from an old design RF45 mill. It is no longer relevant. It over heated an failed. Mark you manuals as noted the seal was replaced by the metal pin spacer nut #74. So save your self a few $ by updating you parts list.
