Hello,
I've have a 1964 series 1 J head mill. The quill power feed, and back gear don't work. Various parts are missing or Jerry-rigged. I've decided to tear it down and replace the broken / missing bits. The first step is the head, though I want to do a complete tear-down and cleaning of the rest of the mill too.
I've got the book "A Guide to Renovating the Bridgeport Series 1 'J' Head Milling Machine, and read through it a couple times. I'm a software developer by trade, but am reasonably mechanically inclined. Reading other peoples PM rebuild threads inspired/convinced me a I can tackle this, if a bit slowly.
There are few tools that I don't have, that I'm not sure exactly what to get.
Hinged hook spanner wrench - Enco - Guaranteed Lowest Prices on Machinery, Measuring Tools, Cutting Tools and Shop Supplies
What hook size do I need?
Hinged 1/8 pin spanner wrench
This looks like it will work: FACOM FCMFA117.B 575-FA-117.B 4 Spanner Face Adjustable Pin Wrench Cr
Blind bearing puller
Would this do the trick: Blind Hole Pilot Bearing Gear Puller Slide Hammer Kit | eBay
Thanks for your help,
Andy
