After talking about the spindle design, I remembered that I had upgraded to R-8 on my old 1720 model. Shoptask used to offer this kit for the older units with Morse #3 spindles. It came complete with the new spindle, a new drawbar, a drill chuck and arbor and new bearings if needed. Shoptask had a trade in system where you would send in your old spindle to one of their customers who used a Shoptask machine to re- grind the inner taper to R-8 and install a key. You also had the option of sending in your entire cartridge for a completed unit.
