Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[Mayhem]

I'm beside myself with joy Greg

Issues like this I can live with. It is when things break that I stop having fun. Mind you, I should have not missed this, as I have the large print of the mill on my white board.

When I was putting the head on, I made a stand that took one of the home made NTMB30 holders and allowed the head to stand on the knee and be positioned so it could be bolted onto the knuckle. It all went well and we put the backgear assembly on, and the belt housing and motor. Only then did I looked in the parts box and find the insert that covered the slot in the knuckle in which the T-bolts that hold the head rotate in. My friend did not look too happy with me when I said it all had to come off. We were just about to remove the motor when I remembered the stand I made (it had been removed and already forgotten!) and we were able to simply slide the head forward, put the insert in and put the head back on. I need to look in the parts box more closely first Perhaps the excitement got the better of me.

So - yes, I am enjoying this project, having fun and learning lots too.
