Atlas/craftsman Mill Countershaft Misalignment

Thank you!! That tells me exactly what I wanted to know. I didn't see that view anywhere on a google image search.

Thank you to all who assisted me with this problem. After much measurement and head scratching, I set up the countershaft assembly in my vertical mill, and gently machined the mounting slot 5/16 over horizontally. Everything now lines up perfectly.
Here's the setup, before I completed leveling it with shims between the angle plate and the countershaft bracket, held tight with the large machinist's clamp. Fortunately, this didn't need much precision.

Interesting setup! Seems it is always a challenge in it self when "re-working" a bracket like that.

Glad your making good progress too!

It would have been much easier on a horizontal mill, but......
