Well they say it is an ill wind that...
Joking apart Pete, despite having to go through the frustration of having to fix a broken part that is so basic to the operation that it should not have failed even on a machine built to a lower finish standard, the fact that you have been through this learning curve and have a sweeter running headstock is a positive.
Hope the fix does not mean that you have to trade in the sweeter running assembly and can get replacement parts fitted.
If it does you can bet that I will be opening it up, checking everything and lubricating anything that moves, or should move, before I use it :lol:
For years, due to finances and a huge family, I ran old Landrovers that I often had to sort out at the roadside so frustration is something that I have learnt to live with. My main concern is that suddenly I have been asked to run a stall at three different places in the next couple of months and need to build up some stock for them. I have a good supply of wood in so hope that this will get sorted quickly
