In August 2010, I dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled the spindle on my
Millrite MVI vertical mill. The original postings were titled "Millrite
MVI spindle bearing repair - first report".

I took notes and some pictures as work progressed, and the result (the
second report I suppose) has been uploaded to the Dropbox.

That was a nice write-up! I wonder if you could have included pg 38
from the Maintence Manual that you obtained from D.C. Morrison. That
might have helped the story. Maybe you didn't include it because it
was copyrighted.

I don't recall that it's copyrighted, but why page 38 versus the other
pages?

It would require a very good scan to allow sufficient detail to be seen.
