Well I took the head assembly down to parade rest including removing the bearings. This is gonna suck getting back together

Guyver is right on with the machining of the case for the quill to ride in. the set screw slot was pretty clean but I cleaned it up anyways. The set screw however is a POOR design and machining. I did quite abit of filing to give it more and better adjustment. Really poor design. I might look at other drills and see if they a have good one that would work. As it is you need to take the hub (lowering arm) out & more to remove the set screw and I dont think that should be the case, a simple redisgn of the screw would eliminate an awfull lot.


The bearings were all fine I will be replacing all of them however.

It is always easier taking something apart than putting back together. I am still trying to get my snowblower carb linkage back together right and it looks like I am going to need the darn thing this week. Chris bring it by if you want and we can see if we can make something better. 7 till 12 M-Thurs. Just a thought . P.

Thanks Paul. Think you could spool up one of them big CNC jobbies and make a whole new head piece
