RF30 Basement Install

Got her on thanks.

Had to set the gib in the saddle with the screw in place and slide it on from this direction. I didn't realize the gib sticks out like it does.

Man this thing is minty.
 
And no hammers required, I see the gibs are different part numbers as well so is the length the only difference?
 
Way to go Pete, and this is just one of the numerous good things that happens on this list. Great people here! Bill

Preferably something that can be disassembled and setup in a basement. Not sure what dates at the moment but probably within the next two weeks. I'm in the NE but willing to pickup anywhere in the Calgary local.

Thanks,

I know it's too late, but I thought you might be interested in seeing my removable dolly for my engine hoist/crane that we use at our property. The dolly was necessitated because, I agree, these things DO NOT move easily on rough terrain because of the tiny size of the steel wheels. Used an old motorcycle frame (front half), two class 3 hitches, u-bolts, trailer tung jacks, John Deere riding mower wheels & tires and an old mower handle. Works great and am able to tow it behind the quad to where I require it on the property and as well if nearby neighbours wish to use it. I use the trailer jacks to lift the weight of the hoist off of the dolly and then simply pull the pins and remove the receiver for the front motorcycle section and rear section, then it sits on its own wheels and is ready to use as a hoist/crane. Recently used it to lift two 750 lb. steel i-beams into their support location under a building on the property.

@David_R8 , @historicalarms Any idea what this is for?

CRANK1.JPG


CRANK2.JPG


Been taking inventory of all the bits and pieces I stripped off the machine and can't for the life of me remember what this was for. It's plastic. Can't find anything like it in the two manuals I have.
 
I have no idea what that is.
The only place I can think of is maybe for the belt tension lock on the right side toward the back....maybe...

That would be my guess as well...If my mill had a handle like that, I cant remember it and it is long gone now but there is a hex head bolt on the motor belt tightener that looks to be that size.

Not a one that I can find.

@thriller007 did you give this crank along with the wrenches you passed along? See post 194.

On my machine there is a motor mounting plate that pivots on a hinge with a locking rod that inserts into a hole in the machine head, there is a metric hex bolt that screws into the head casting (right side) that locks the motor from loosely pivoting on the hinge. This is the only place I can see a handle like that you photo'd would have an application.

Yes I did. It was in the back of my truck but not sure where it came from.

Ok, thanks. That explains it. It doesn't belong to this machine at all LOL. If you discover you're missing one you know where it is.

@historicalarms I have the same motor pivot locking rod but the locking screw is a T handle arrangement.
