Re: Oil leaking
If you can get it to go in, then take it back out and blow in where it goes with pressure. If it's clogged up, it will still leak. Dang I hate hearing stories like this. Replacement scrapers are usually made tall to custom fit properly. I grind them down a tad at a time to get them to gently scrape ...

Re: Oil leaking
Try shoving the wheel either in or out to line it up. Maybe that's why they didn't put one in,. Lousy excuse though.

Re: F&W Model 7
I have an original Steel Star. But the 7's are an upgrade in a few ways. I can understand a guy having a certain mill wanting that particular info. Don't think it would do any good to have a Dempster #12 then have info for a #12-A. I could be wrong. Whatever he wants, we can help. I can certainly ta...

Re: F&W Model 7
the info I am offering is according to T. Lindsay Baker's books. Ok, the FW Star 7 was introduced in 1907, ergo the year and model coincide. Several mill makers did this.

Re: new in Canada

Re: F&W Model 7
I looked thru all my stuff and found MAYBE 1 picture, but it was not I.D.'d so I didn't copy it. However I have a book that says where literature is available. Possibly you can email or contact them in some way to get the info you need. Hold on, and I will post what I find. I'm sure you can get some...

Re: is this a windmill part ?
Naw, but thanks. Maybe something else. Oh, better send me a list on Dempster items. I can start rounding them up.
