Are you referring to the plastic piece that rides on the crank pin and connects to the vertical 'shaft'? If so it is 'probably' an out of production part. A call to ss would verify this. Bill Mayo may be of help. My older manual does not have an item 16. I believe you are referring to the yoke brack...

NICE! Kinda 'tinny' but NICE! Kinda too neat, but NICE! Not enough scroll saws, but NICE! Weather kinda warm, but NICE!

BTW what type of woodworking do you perform with the morter mixer?

Did I mention it is NICE!

Funny you should ask. Past two weeks have been crazy. Too many work hours, not enough play hours. Too many work hours meant no evening energy to do squat. Must be getting old!! Spent the entire day yesterday OUTSIDE working on the project. (sorry to rub it in Rest Of Country, USA ) Had to work in b...

GEE! I never thought to measure the angle!:p See what you can learn by being wrong!:D

NO! The edges are beveled to fit flush between the ceiling and the wall. The crown molding sits at a 45 degree angle to both.

Tomorrow is headstock teardown day I have to see what lurks under the steel skin to see how much needs to be done with my new toy. I found a guy one state away who advertises that he will make any part you need for your stuff. He for many years had problems with various machines he needed parts for...
