I may just have to do that Rick!
The head is completely disassembled now and the gearing, shafts, bushes etc have been cleaned and inspected. Most of it looks OK. The worm that rotates the head is damaged at the very start of the thread on one end but I can file/re-shape this.
Next task is to remove the spindle from the quill and check the bearings. I need to look at the drawings a little more though, as the NMTB30 spindle is quite different to the R8 one, which is more like the BP.
I'm in no rush, so I'll just plod along and see how I go. Its not as if I have a stack of jobs lining up that need finishing to put bread on the table (there'd be a more svelte Mayhem if that were the case!!!).
