@Chicken lights you are awesome!!!

Dave dropped off a new x axis lead screw and split nuts for my Bridgeport. I will be changing that out when I get home and basically have a new machine with even feed across the axis. I changed out the y axis a few weeks ago before getting back to work and it made a huge difference. For the x axis the power feed had to work a bit too hard at the outer 6 to 8 inches (I could tell it was slowing and affecting the feed rate/surface finish). I find that I have been milling a few things that are long- like the exhaust manifold for my boy- and full table length would be great!

If anyone wants pics and how too's let me know and I will try to take a few more than normal shots when I do the change.

That is a lot of Sea Doo's @Chicken lights!
 
Mrs @Brent H offered for me to come up when you’re home for a meal so I’d say I’m getting the better part of the deal on this one

Mrs @historicalarms runs a mean kitchen too :)

I’m gonna grab a shower while I can then head for the shop, apparently leaving on Monday for Texas again, let me know if there’s anything else that needs to be picked up

Hey Brent I would be interested in seeing the replacement of the lead screw. Thank you.

I will picture and document it for you and start a new thread up - I have one of those cheaper power feeds that will need re-installation as well. I am also planning on some Bijur lube fitting repairs. If you want anything in particular let me know - I will try for many more pics and than normal and hopefully have a few you may desire more than others.

On my way back from Laredo TX last weekend had a little incident on I-30 coming into Little Rock.
Made 3 deliveries into cottage country Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday then started tear down

Lots of working words have been said, no it’s not my fault and no the other driver did not hang around to exchange info

And yes, drove from Arkansas to Ontario like that, no, we did not go through any open chicken coops there was some creative routes around them
 
Oh boy, it’s a big list.

RH air breather, RH mirror bracket, air breather trim, grille, hood trim, bumper, fog lights, hood mirrors, hood latches, hood supports, hood springs and brackets, headlight bezels, headlights and wiring, headlight pots, bug deflector, mudflaps,

Then pull the hood off

Put the “new” hood on

New hood hinge bushings

Then reinstall all the junk we pulled off the old hood

Broke a thread chaser today and had to use a tap instead :mad:

Lots of working words...
