Just a thought...if you do strip it down, why not put an extra belt loose out of the way ready for future breaks? If there is room of course!

Thread: ML7 backgear lever lubrication.

So,, where does the oil come out when you squirt some in the oil nipple? I would have thought it should come out somewhere on the smaller diameter section where the back gear actually runs ?

yes it does. Thanks Hopper.

I’m with you on this one Richard S2. A blind hole vent sounds like a good answer,So I’ll leave well alone and just oil prior to fitting.Thanks to all.

Definitely no link between oil nipple and hole ,So should there be ? I could drill an oilway to suit from the small end past the nipple to the hole, any thoughts ?

09/08/2022 20:01:34

I’ve had wires and cleaning fluid and an airline in all the holes,yet cannot find a connection between the nipple and hole shown in the picture?

Hi all,The oil nipple on the backgear lever shaft is not linked to the tiny hole in the main body? So how does this get its oil? Or am I missing something?

Here in the UK. You can fit a “C curve” RCD.to your garage mains circuit instead of the “B curve” type. This option is more suitable for inductive loads such as Motors,Fluorescent lights etc.

google C curve RCD.

Thread: Myford ML7 clutch

You’re very lucky to have a clutch. Someone suggested using a masonry nail !

Thanks Steve you nailed it.

they are in fact to fit a Myford MG12 grinder. I will be selling these with or without the chucks soon.

best wishes to all.BB.

Bison and Burnerd. I was hoping to use the existing backplates for my Myford ML7.but these are hardened and very well made.so if I knew exactly what I have,maybe I can sell and buy pre-threaded plates. So,looking at the pictures,does anyone have any idea what these are? Thanks in advance.11936efa-c838-4e51-82df-41e1dbdc62cf.jpeg
