New old Milwaukee K& T #2H

[promaster60]

My buddy with a junk yard called me and said you mite want to stop by today and look at what i picked up. So i drove to his place and Holly Cow he had a Cincinnati # 3 vert. mill / CNC tape lathe / bridgeport mill / Wilwaukee 2 H plain Hor. mill with Kurt Vise on it So a few hours later i went home with a New Old Mill and alot of tooling .Facing boring head P&H / 4" boring head Fynn / kurt angle lock vise Like new . Beaver quick change tooling , etc Now my ? is the mill is descant looking with very little rust I started pulling it apart and i found i few thing wrong . Cross slide screw and nut are really worn, Table screw and nut look good , 2 gears in the knee are tooth less ! I still need to gave this machine a complete bath. I would like to replace the 2 gears and crossslide screw and restore her if i can find parts that i can afford for this beast ? Also need a parts manaul for this K & T 2H PLAIN mill

You will feel much better repairing and saving those old machines than if you bought some newer import models and tried to get them up to your standards.

Don't you just love scrap yards and the American manufacturing throw-away business model?
