Oil pumping setup. It looks to be a basic check valve setup were the brass end has an internal cone machined into it. Then there is a floating ball inside that blocks the oil from coming back out.

Snout removal. I would not recommend doing it this way as it was a PITA! But it came off without breaking anything.

Thanks for the update. Looks like you making some real head way. Glad you found a bearing that didn't cost $4,500.00.

Interesting turn table setup, and even more interesting to see how that thing is put together. Thanks for sharing, keep the pics coming!

Here is want the turn table looks like after it was machined for the new bearing. Also I removed the old cast iron ball cage altogether. The turn table is so smooth and easy to operate. I can turn it with the tip of my pinky. :D

More pictures to come when I get faster internet the first picture took 3 minutes to upload... I’ll try to upload more tomorrow. I have the tale complete. I will be building the tower tomorrow.
