MickyD - A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS. You've inspired me to try metal polishing........

.....and I'm wondering if a polished headstock would be to much?
But THEN you would have to wear sunglasses (like your partying bunch) to use it.:D

Yeah......Eastwood offers some great products and tools, but you have to be careful of the value. They'll try and really get you sometimes. [ATTACH]4347[/ATTACH]

It is a pleasure to view the efforts of a true Craftsman who takes pride in his work.

Congratulations on a job well done! A true masterpiece!

When I ordered my bearings, I told the guy they were going in woodworking equipment. I had the reference listing that you posted in this threadon bearing replacement. (p.s. how'd a software guy become such a "bearing head"?? )

Are you saying above the the GREASE ooze is what is shielding and protecting the bearing from crud? It does make sense.

I just realized that I never documented what replacement bearings I installed when I did my rebuild so here it is:

My 2 Gilmer drive sleeve bearings installed on my Greenie are Koyo PN6205ZZC3 ($9.63 ea.)

My 2 motor bearings installed are Koyo PN62032RSC3 ($7.80ea.)

My single quill bearing is Fafner PN202KDD5C1 ($19.70 ea).


p.s. I noticed you added your Greenie SN / mfg. date to your signature. GREAT IDEA! I am going to do the same. EVERYBODY should.

Where did you purchase your Fafnir PN202KDD5C1? I have been looking and I've only been able to locate C0 (normal) radial clearance.

Super Job! Now you have to go find another Mark V that you can use and get dirty, 'cause this one is too darn pretty to mess up!
