Quick update. Ball screws should be back right after new years.

I walked in and found my shop floor flooded. Coolant tank looks good, no rust, thick metal, but after I pressure washed it real good it has miniature pin holes in it and several places. I could weld them up but I really don't want more to show up and flood my shop again. So, I cut and bent a new one out and am testing before powder coating it.



Here is the new one....
Testing fit... Perfect



Welded ends up and testing for leaks.


Air lines, lube lines, manifolds, way wipers all done.
Gear change cylinders and hosing done.

Still have to clean up the way covers and put new wipers in those and I need to flush and clean out the spindle coolant tank and replace the antifreeze with some new dowfrost i have.

Waiting on ball screws, draw bar floater, Bellville washers, and a new valve for the lube pump.

Getting a little closer. Should have it going in a couple weeks.
