I ment to say Ryder in milton lol

If you ever end up at Ryder, ask for Kyle the mechanic and tell him his dad says hi. It'd really freak him out. Especially if you tell him that you don't even know him lol. I use to drive for manitoulin but now I run heavy equipment and float for Graff concrete cutting. That got me interested in...

I rent in milton and bought a cottage near Bancroft where I have my machinery. That's where I have space and funny enough, 3 phase power possibilities

Reason I live in milton

I would say that's the closest village

Yes, head through there if I take my wife to work in Burlington. Nice little spot. Cedar springs rd I think

Working through the colchester. I have a few videos on YouTube under lakeside machinery stuff

My luck has dwindled massively since. Maybe payback lol

I was lucky enough in that way. My brown and sharp showed up on kijiji for free to the first one to pick it up. Luckily I was in the area with a dump truck and skidsteer in the trailer. I was so thankful, I helped him move the other equipment he had gotten in that lot into position in his shop...

I'm planning on milling and grinding the dovetails on the saddle ways, cross slide and compound dovetails. They both get tight in parts of their travel and my initial measurements show up to 12thou wear in the flat way in the bottom of the saddle. I'll know better in a few months once I pickup a...

That's way more twisted than mine was. I think I still have mine up north. It's almost not noticeable on mine. You may have better luck repairing the one I have if you know someone to do it. Like I said in your other post my sliding gear would jam part way though. If you want, I'll bring it back...

As you can see, in a few pieces

Here is the gear driving the change gears. As you can see, the holes in the bushing are where you install the shear pin. As you can see, mine has been chowdered up even before I got it. There is the location picture from the manual

Did you have a problem shifting the D-C lever? If so, I had the same problem. I was lucky enough to find a shaft on Ebay (I think very lucky). I think its called the drivin shaft. It happens when someone crashes the lathe while threading and hasn't used the correct shear pin in the change gear...

I have a colchester mk1 12×24 student from 1954. Currently in pieces getting repaired repainted once the weather gets warmer. Also have a brown and sharpe no2 surface grinder from around 1910s and a sajo uf52 horizontal mill. All at the cottage though as that's where I have space
