Hyatt bearings. Ifg I remember, they were in seperate carriers, bolted to the mainframe. I converted one from Hyatt to Babbitt one time. Dug the Hyatts out of the carriers, and poured those with babbitt. Also installed grease zerks. There was like 9 or 11 of them or something like that. Just say a bunch.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Dan , it does look like you need several of those "table tops " to match your furnishings .

Well I've been able to get a little bit more done. The weather hasn't been that bad no snow mid thirties so i built some stands on casters and a hinge for the Stover tower.

Looks good Dan. Will you have enough head room to stand it with the wheel?

Your propane heater should make your "barn" tolerable in mid 30's weather
