Sorry I keep posting about this mill I'm refurbishing (NOT rebuilding as in scraping etc). I noticed the auto down feed mechanism felt pretty crunchy so I took it apart figuring I'd cha ge the bearings. The larger bearing is one that came right up but the smaller one doesn't. It's stamped 3200 which I suppose is an obsolete number. After all the mill IS 76 years old. When I google the number I get a couple of different crosses like 6200 and 5200. The dimension for these don't match the 3200 bearing I have. The dimensions for my bearing is 10X30X10mm. When I google this I get some hits but when I visit the site from the hit(s) they come back as 10X30X9?? If anyone knows of the best way that I can get the proper size bearing I'd appreciate the input.
Another issue I am looking for advice on is the taper pin (I'm assuming it's a taper pin) that's securing the worm gear. For some reason the pin and gear were ground down and the taper pin is very difficult to see. Will I be OK with just wrapping on what I assume is the smaller end? Hopefully it can be seen in the 3rd photo. Is there a better way for me to make the pin stand out from the gear?
Many thanks as usual.
