Nice job, Scott!
Did you happen to also change the drive sleeve bearings?
Emco still had new spindles a few years back. The RF-30/31 should have the same one. Cost was $135.00 when I bought mine and I wish I had ordered two and kept one as a back up. In any case, MSC might have one if you need one someday.
I also wanted to suggest you run your mill at about 1500-1800 rpm for about a half hour and check to be sure the bearing temps remain below 100 degrees F. If it goes higher then adjust preload.
