Well against all odds (mostly due to Chipper5783 's help and friends ), I am now in possession of a U0 vertical head for my bargain horizontal mill:
Since these parts may have been stored outside for a bit I figured it was prudent to tear it down and take a peak at the situation inside ( let's be honest i like taking things apart and seeing what makes them tick!
) . For once I had the forethought to use what was available to me, mostly the perk of working in an industrial setting. So I took it to work to putter with after hours and since everything here at the mill is greasy and dirty, it fit right in.
Other than having a wealth of people to draw knowledge from, they also have a sand blasting cabinet hooked up to a never ending supply of compressed air. This came in useful.
( the random number I found while cleaning has me slightly concerned
)
I was meaning to post this as things progress, but I went ahead and did the work and figured would post later. This has caught us up to the best bit and the part I'm currently looking at tearing down : the head itself
