I would like a clear explode view/ diagram of the spindle head of this machine. The bearing top and bottom appear to be pressed in, any suggestion on how they might be removed would be appreciated. Also I would like to communicated with any one who has already dis mantle a similar head/spindle.

Are you talking about the outer races of the tapered roller bearings? On my machine one could be drifted out from the other side. The other one had zero purchase – so, using a TIG, I ran a slow, 1" weld in 3 places on the exposed race. Once it had cooled a bit, with a bit of tapping and prying, the race just fell out.

I wouldn't mind a diagram too. The only paper work I got with my mill was the receipt, about 30 years ago. I was looking at the front belt today, think I better get a new one, the old one is not far from giving up.
