Sorry, does that mean it's not needed?

Pretty much. However with the splined drive sleeve requiring grease, the dust shield is desirable.

Grease? Grease on the splines? I guess I failed to read instructions again. Where do I read to learn what sort of grease? I have never greased mine. :eek:

Not to worry Dusty ;) , greasing the splines on the quill is specific to the 10E/ER's, where it reduces chatter and backlash on the spindle, and possibly the Mark 5's with Gilmer drive belts, Greenies and early Goldies,

On Mark V's the nylon coupler on the drive sleeve serves that function.

If you are going to replace the quill to get a Double Bearing Quill you will also have to replace the drive and idler shafts plus the upper belt. Basically a Gilmer Drive to Poly V Drive upgrade. These parts do not fit each other to be able to mix sets.

For Gilmer Drive machines there is the option of getting a modified 2 bearing quill from Skip Campbell, MKC tools. https://www.mkctools.com/mark%20v%20parts.htm
