Bamford in a box
38ac:
A customer 4.5 HP Bamford arrived today, mostly torn apart. Amish,, save some money by doing it themselves,, Grrrrr.
Me; uh where are all the nuts and bolts?
Amish; uhhhh don't you have any?
Me; No, I make what I need on the lathe.
Amish; OH
Me; Where are the Gibb keys??
Amish; shrug shoulders???
Me; more time and materials on bill.
Amish; Not included in cost estimates??
Me; No, you pay for that time and materials.
Turns out they had tried to rebuild it.
Also picture of crank, this happens when you use a standard bearingon a 020 under crank shaft,, more saved money LOL.

I love doing jigsaw puzzles, don`t remember ever having to make any of the pieces though.
I hate having to make nuts and bolts, are any of them high tensile? How will you be heat treating them?
Good luck with it, I`m sure it will be another triumph.

Good luck with that Bamford, 38AC. Baffling that they would select a classic older engine with few to no parts available for it only to abuse it.
