Baker WB rebuild

[Jim Corcoran]

Bob,
Here are the images of the lower ball race that came with my mill. It will work only on a four corner tower. Baker did produce a universal lower ball race that would mount to either the 3 or 4 leg tower. It appears the part number for the universal one is WB1A, which is what Verdun is shipping to me.

Notice in the bottom side image that there is inscribed by hand the part number "WB201". There is no cast in part number on this piece. According to the literature I've been able to collect the part number should be "WB1"

Steve,
Yep, that's what I have coming from Verdun. Thanks for posting the image.

That's all I've ever seen. Jim, you just keep teaching me things.

Yep like the one on my 3 leg. Do they still sell the balls with the spacers?

Do they still sell the balls with the spacers?

Yes they do.

I could use a little help. Is this the correct positioning of the thrust washers for the wheel hub shaft on my WB? When I disassembled this mill there was only one washer left in it and it was only slightly more that cookie crumbs of rust. I haven't been able to find any definitive images anywhere on line or in any literature I can find.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
