Please can anyone help?
I have a Wadkin pp and the sliding table's started grinding and clattering horribly.
I'm going away for a week so having viewed a few online restorations in my wisdom decided to whip the table of, give it a clean and order new bearings in the hope they have arrived upon my return and i can reassemble and get back to work.
Not so! It appears my machines a early model,different to the ones iv'e seen on line and in the manuals available ,
no nylon strip to house the bearings and no spacer between the cylinders that form the liner bearing track.
I carefully removed the bearings using strong magnets so not to lose any.
What came out was 48 @ 5/32" and 36 @ 3/16" one side , 51 @ 5/32" and 50 @ 3/16" the other in a random fashion.
The machine number is 167, test number 64746.
I've contacted Daltons and Advanced machinery but as yet no reply.
I just need to establish the correct number and size of bearing needed?
Maybe someone out the has a copy of a older manual or worked on a older machine before?
On the upside I've cured one of the noises, it was simply the table locating pin sitting to low and catching the ribs of the casting above!
Any help would be much appreciated.!
