The mill's vertical head has a couple of small, but annoying, oil leaks. Having not been able to find a handbook it was necessary to tackle the disassembly without being sure how it would work out. Instead of the expected rotating oil seal it turned out that the design obviated the need for one. Disassembly was not straightforward because one small component became dislodged. It was necessary to repair this item.
I am making an accurate CAD layout drawing of the whole assembly to better understand how it was designed and to try to check that the bevel gears are meshing correctly. This drawing and the cure for the oil leak will be the subject of the video to follow.
