The saga continues! I am still working trying to get my 4600 operational.
I had a friend machine the spindle housing to get the new aftermarket spindle installed.
WOW, he did what I told him not to do!
He machined the top end out, so the new spindle would come all the way through instead of doing as requested (boring the middle section out to allow the solid shaft to pass through). Now the whole thing is at the wrong angle. I still don't understand why he did that.
Now I find out that no-one here has a used one available. (Watson, Fawcett, Innes, Lindsay, & Teeswater)
A 4000 is too small and a 5000 is too big.
Does anyone know what industrial model would have the same housing as a 4600?
I plan on checking with the machine shop my CNH dealer uses, in the morning to see what they can do.
PS A new housing is still available - $1600.00 CDN + tax
