how to

[oldskoolron]

good info thanx fellas .I made the bush outta brass but left a 2thou clearance its a old windmill and had no bushing just a castiron bigend cap held in with a bolt and bit of 1inc x 3/8 thick barso the whole setup just sits in place . I drilled 2 oil feed holes and made a small oil feed/escape passage on the inside of the bush .before I got my mini mill from my sons I took the gearbox to local[60mileaway] engineering shop an they wanted 1700 dollars to make the one bush
atleast now im getting more confident using the mill and lathe plus having the knowledge in this forum is great an saves me a lot of expense
cheers
