Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY
Having these lathes has allowed me to make many no-longer-available IH parts. One simple example is the often neglected service of and damage to, from overloading the spring perches.
My South Bend16 is perfect for drilling out the damaged perch pins and turning replacements.
My Cummins Diesel L110 has a TH475 automatic transmission and the clutch pedal is not needed. The brake pedal bushing was all but worn away. I made a replacement from Delrin. The South Bend was just right for shortening the pedal pivot.
The milling machine made hubcap new centers to convert to IH from RAM.
The solid axles for the "L" are Ram1500. The wheels are also RAM 20 inch from a much later model. I want big 275/60-20 rubber to help fill the cavernous fenders.

My friend was a welder/fabricator on the Waterfront. Grain transfer to ships would wear the steel and stainless chutes away in a few weeks. The Delrin liners lasted for years.

I have a mounting kit coming. The kit will allow mounting the control box over the idler.
Rather than mounting the unit in one fixed location, I decided to mount it on a mobile cart. My idea is to take the three phase power to the machine.
I had this idea of maybe using a pressure washer base for the mobility. I found this base on Craigslist. It was $20. I cannot buy the material for $20.

Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY
I spent a few hours in the shop, today. I was working on a redesign of the yellow cart thingee to make it look good and work with the repurpose.
I am not one to like these generic parts and brackets. Fits-all, does not, for me.
The yellow cart thingee is another example of powder-coating going bad. There are a few paint damage spots where the water had gone under the plastic coating and travelled. I have a Miller Spectrum plasma cutter. Bye-bye rusty parts.
The slow to arrive parts were not the fault of the shipper.

I am feeling better now and the possibility of having a slice of my wife's apple pie may have contributed to my slightly better feel-good.
The cinnamon buns are another form of good medicine.
