Actually its about there, but the whole OEM timing belt drive is an old style belt, only available from LMS and the mounting for the jackshaft is just flexible enough to let it slip a few teeth. If its under cutting load, thats instantly a burned up pulley on the jackshaft. > I > hope you're up and at 'em soon, Gene.

What a nice thing to say, thank you Greg. And even if you are laughing at me, at least you laughed. :) While I doubt if I'll be making swarf in the next week, the deck on the shop is a nice place to get ones vitamin D, and has a comfy chair, so I ran the update-manager on both machines while I was sitting there yesterday around noon, nursing a cuppa our real coffee. I asked the cooks at Ruby why, when they make at least 100 gallons of coffee a day, why it wasn't coffee. No answer. Where I got forcibly stopped, is rigging some limit switches to detect the end of the screw as it approaches the ball nut & stop it from dropping all those balls in the dirt. Once thats done, then tip it up to get at the nut holding screws & change the whole thing out. But I don't know as I'd trust me to handle the weight of the tables just yet. That is the big base and table kit from LMS. Two projects to do as soon as I feel like it, the rider needs to be fired up, as the front yard is about 5" high, and the light switch for the ceiling lights in my bedroom has picked the last 2 weeks to slowly expire. Switches I have, I just need to go round one up, along with the right sized screwdriver. I buy those things in contractor 10 packs. Goes with owning the place free & clear for quite a few years. The grass may be a little higher yet before I fork that old 38" Craftsman. Pushing 30yo, its getting hard to shift, the drive must be fully unloaded. But I still am, and have been told that heart wise I am as good as new once the right side of my heart shrinks back to more or less normal. They spent at least an hour watching it on the ultrasound screen 2 days later. So thats encouraging.
