I wonder if I can squeeze in one more?

Post by robinson46176 »

We were moving pool stuff to a storage building (actually an unused grain bin) and I got to looking at Mark VII number three...
Dang that is an awfully decent looking Mark VII to be sitting in a storage building... Never mind, leave it there and maybe look at it again next spring... Dang, I think everything is there... Naw, let it sit, I don''t need it...
You know by using the "cows in milking stanchions" arrangement the othere don't require nearly as much room... Why? I don't need it...
If I clear out some more of the stuff that does not belong in the wood shop anyway... I don't need it...
-
When the door was shut and latched the Mark VII was sitting out in front of the building waiting to be moved to the wood shop... I don't even remember moving it out. I must have been in a trance of some kind.
Heck I don't even remember if it runs of not. I do know that the speed control is OK. How much can it need? (famous last words)... :D
Sigh...

I did not equip with Shopsmiths in spite of the setups but because of them.

If you fail to find a stanchion for it, I would be most agreeable to drive up there and 'relieve' you of the painful task of putting it back in the grainery without any memory of doing so!:D

When I finish, it won't be in there to remind you either!;)

I got a chance to move it in today along with one I had in another building for a while to use there. That makes 10. Right now they are both just inside the door on the right along with about everything else. :rolleyes:
I did plug in the Mark VII and ran it a little and it was quiet and moved through the speeds OK. I think a good cleaning, especially some scrubbing on the way tubes, and a proper lubing is all it will have to have for now. The other thing is of course to align it a little. I want everything to be within 5.00 inches. :D :D
Over time I want to paint most of the rest of them. I have three that I painted well already and my 510 doesn't really need it. The "Old Grey Mare" that I painted years ago could use some freshening up but I don't really think it "needs" a full paint job. Maybe some touch up on the legs. Most of the rest are not new looking but are in no rush. The 10-ER does need paint but I won't touch it until I get around to building a new bench top for it. The Frankensmith needs paint about as bad as any of them. I have already picked the colors and went over the thing marking which part gets which color. It is basically going to be just a two color scheme. Fire engine red and canary yellow... :)
I'll post a picture when I get it done.
