Agreed at least you saved what you could and it will be up and running again. Thanks!!

I was wondering the same thing Bob but than I thought maybe they changed the hoop.

Jud what model Flint and Walling? I didn't know they made a model that the tower cap sat inside the tower.

Okay guys this is the result after about 8 hours of cooking. One coat of stain on wood and I dipped this rust free metal in too so you can see the difference.

1. Did you over fill it with oil. 2. Is the tower plumb and your mill level.3.is the oil collector in place. If all are yes than it sounds like the bearing wasn't poured correctly to me except for if you over filled it with oil.

My Dad who is 95 for years made black walnut stain on the wood stove in his garage. He used it on various things. This is my first attempt at it hopefully as good as my dad was. Les i believe my brother used to use it on his traps too he believed it detured his scent from the traps also.

Nice day to be out in my shop cooking up some Black Walnut Stain for my wood tower i built.

Thomas send some pics of tailvane.Thanks!!!

Trevor your mill is kinda a rare mill. The 612 was made for just a short while and there isn't much info on them either. Im guessing the mast pipe that was cut is the same as a 602 other parts not sure. Hopefully someone on this forum can help. Welcome to the club.

Maybe try some PB blaster on a small spot and rub gentle to clean !
