Working on my South Bend 9C

[Model Citizen]

I too miss my old ones. Drove ‘em for years.
But one tends to forget winter time valve adjustments every 3,000 miles (if you don’t want a burnt exhaust valve) while laying on your back with cold hands or no heater while going downhill, blah, blah….
But in hindsight…..well actually no….

Ya. But, think how much younger we were back then. 🙄 😛

Hey guys. It's working. He's starting to buy stuff...

Should we take him out and show him a shaper while I am over there? We could give him some pointers on how to get it up the hill before we disappear like two wisps of smoke as the work begins.......🙄😉😎

Don't forget the machines in basements education 🙄 😀

Hey if y'all can expand my garage space for more tools I'm all ears.

How deep are your pockets? You're only a building permit away. 🙄
@DavidR8 can design you a space where you can get 10 lbs of spuds into a 5 lbs bag, and @jcdammeyer can animate it for you.. ...

Ah yes, where gravity is your friend and you want the basement to be yours..... 🙄

Strata might have something to say about it!

Well we could attach a tent on the end and open the wall with an angle grinder if a chainsaw wasn’t available.

Bostar AXA tool post (not all parts pictured) and pre-milled t-nut have arrived!

Just need the drive assembly and belt (which I can't measure for until I get the drive assembly). Guess that means I need to finally start servicing the rest of it while I wait!

I'm sure if he asks David nicely he would 3D print one for him. 😛

Anyone got a particular recommendation for a belt brand and/or vendor domestically, or just whoever has something in the right dimensions is good enough? (The belt on there is 1" wide, I don't know the length I need yet, just getting my ducks in a row)

I don't have any used automotive belts kicking around to repurpose (not really a car guy).

Hi Michael,

An old trouser leather belt could be used with the ends scarfed and glued. I'm assuming its a flat belt you want !

Hah yes flat belt. I will likely try for an endless serpentine if all goes well though.

Once you have your drive in place, (which is now on the island ) just measure the length and take that to the auto parts store and get a 6 rib serpentine.....

Simple, I like it. No need for the fancy specialist stuff.
