Yes we did post at the same time.oooppps
I appreciate the time you've spent on this.
Does Paul know where these are made?
Dealer tells me he made the connection at Booneville NY woodsmens days a many moons ago.
Moot point though.
The missing bolt was there and there were 2 just like yours, but they stripped and I had to get a longer bolt to touch the bottom threads just so I could line it up to weld. All I had handy were 4 inch. Hence the washers to jam it up.
I took one bolt out, and left the other to "beat" on when the ram gets stuck in a piece of wood.
Originally it looked just like yours.
The spring has been broken 3 times and just a few minutes ago flew off for the last time. I actually have to buy one now.
Do you grease yours as per instructions? I quit.
60 thou good to know, I'm at about 120 now and I will close it up.
How about side to side play? is there any?
I have lots, and if you look at the witness marks of the bearing its riding hard on one side and a glaze of pressed "bark/sawdust" on the other half.
May need to adjust cams a bit..
Ia agree they are great when they work, when they don't, not so much.
Hydraulics either work or they don't and it costs dollar to fix, this thing is simple but requires tinkering every day it seems.

If I lived that close, I'd make the trip for a demo!
