Good morning,last couple afternoons and this morning I was able to work on the oil seal.Glad that I had order couple bronze bushings cause I mess up another one.So I'm 1 out of 3 boring bushings.But the last one I feel good about other than I wish I would took alittle more out of the bore.Taking Brians ideal of getting close then using sandpaper to do the fine tuning,which I wish I would done more fine tuning.Getting it all turning the shaft is a little tight,but it turns by hand.
Bushing installed with green loctite just on the upper 1/2 of the bushing
Where the previous owner remove material to install a bearning I made this ring w/shoulder to put back an oil seal which also has loctite to hold it in place and to keep oil from leaking out.
Here is a pic of the double lip oil seal,no loctite here just some oil which it snap into place.
Here is the finish product,which I've taken this apart so many times,I will leak test it tomorrow.Going to give the loctite a day to cure,keeping my fingers cross on this,but its bound to help make it better.NOW
.
Guys here's my next project,replacing the bushing which is very thin.While working on the oil seal I move this gear and notice that it wiggles from side to side,so I bet that this is where some of the noise is coming from.So my game plan is to let the loctite cure then run the lathe awhile and check for any oil.I sure hope that this chapter of this book is finish.Thanks guys for sticking with me on this----kroll
