You Should lift the head, and reset the balls and spacers. If the turntable drags on itself, then new balls are needed. 5/8 balls for an 8 ft mill, 1/2 in for 6 ft mills. After resetting them, put a wedge (of sorts) under the stormstay between the neckpipe (pumprod) guide and the bottom of the storm stay. it takes VERY LITTLE to upset those bearings.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
