| Auto quill feed problem on my Bridgeport |

Well I hit a snag. In the very first picture I posted you see the brass bushing that I took out. Now note that right above that bushing you'll see teeth from the drive pinion. This drives the two gears on the shaft I took out. It's in the way. I can't get it back together again. That gear needs to go up out of the way so I can get the shaft in that I took out. No way can I get it up. I'm thinking I might need to take the top part of the machine off. John Stevenson I need your expertise on this one. Can you remember how they get that drive back together? Is the shaft with the wrom gear all assembled first? I can't see any way of getting a pin in through the worm gear and shaft when it's in place. Bernd |

Well it's 4:00PM Friday and the mill is back together and the quill feed is working like it's supposed to. :clap: Guess I bet the Sunday dead line for getting it running again and I got a bit done on the kitchen pantry. :D Pics tomorrow of how I did it. I think I can now safely say I can fix a quill feed on a Bridgeport in less than a day, if I have the parts. :wave: Bernd |
