Enjoying a slow day here

Got power to hot tub. Seems breaker was sticking, not sure why. Will have to keep an eye on it. Decides to drain the tub again and refill. I refill with hot water from the on demand heater.

Chemistry for the pool getting close. Have to start thinking about adding the salt and making the conversion. Need to modify the electric a bit, add another receptacle to accommodate the chlorinator and charger for the cordless pool vac.

Need to load up some trash and make a detour to dump on the way to town

I use E0 in everything including truck and car. Fortunately readily available

RNG, to replace the little nub as you call it or key, you just have to lower the spindle quill down slightly and remove a set screw to gain access to that key ! Should be fairly straight forward !

That's what I thought, too. We even found three set screws in the quill that we hoped were the extened nose Allen screws. Nope. Downloaded a copy of the owner's manual for this old green PowerMatic, and saw that the quill has a sleeve inside, and the sleeve has the extended nose Allen screw. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to take it apart for cleaning and lubrication anyway. I'm just glad it's not mine.

Unleaded gas raises H with older gas engines, but it's illegal to use leaded gas or leaded additives on the street. So how do you fly boys keep the EPA off your backs?

Don’t ask don’t tell.

shoot, shovel, shuddup.

Good Evening RNG,
If memory serves me well this evening, on a Bridgeport mill, you loosen the set screws to remove the large threaded ring at the base of the quill. I believe that gives you access to the key we are talking about that drives the collets ! The Powermstics are very similar ! Have been retired as a modelmaker since 2008 so my memory is not quite that sharp anymore !
