An old Drum switch, still looks usable

On the Truck. We had carefully laid it on a pallet, and set the pallet in the truck, After driving home I started disassembly.

On the ground. A neighbor came by and offered to remove the mill from the truck. I didn't hesitate. He removed the Pallet with the Bobcat and then stood the mill up for me. It was a lot easier to disassemble that way. Before I took any more off, I got the pressure washer and gave it a cleaning.

Selected parts, on the ground and in the shop

The spindle and other cleanable parts, before going into the parts washer. I sure wish I would have gotten the bigger parts washer.  Notice the BLACK glue/grease.  I think that was "Bear Grease" applied by Eli Whitney 200 years ago.

The "Rise and Fall Head.  It was glued tight by the "Bear Grease"
