Another floating power draw bar design for my X3 mill. I only had to machine a base plate and spacer. Everything else was bought from McMaster or Ebay.
I bought the new draw bar and Bellville washers directly from Tormach. It is the same parts that they sell in their complete kit! Fits nicely on the X3. I am also using their TTS system.
Foot switch, 5 port valve, and 4" Fabco cylinder bought from Ebay.
Last picture shows the orginal drawbar from the X3. The cap came off!!! The cap is actually held on with a pin and it sheared off. The Tormach drawbar appears to be one piece so no worries about the head coming off.
Here's the vid again:
