This Wishek disc I bought it beginning to become a bit of a pain in the ass.
The new center section cylinder showed up yesterday. This one is 4.5 inch so at least the machine will go into the ground straight.
The old cylinder was drilled for 1 inch holes.
The new ones are drilled for 1.5 inch!
Apparently there is a retrofit pin that you can buy. It is 1.5 on one end, is turned to 1 in the middle and then is supplied with a 1.5 ODx1 ID bushing.
So, plan B is to drive to Havre tomorrow morning and buy a foot or two of 1.5 inch stress proof and build my own retrofit pins. FROG SNAX!
My old Atlas with the quarter inch rocker tool post will be earning its keep tomorrow. I just hope I can find my chunk of 1/4 HSS to make a couple tools out of.
Nobody’s got a piece of DOM tubing you can make a bushing out of?
