There's a place in NC you can order lead free Babbitt to pore the barrings. Other then that these mills are very simple and don't have to many parts.

I have started taking it apart and it all looks good. So, I may need assistance with that or maybe parts. I plan on cleaning the outer parts and repainting them back to the old redish color?
>> Thanks up front and I would appreciate any and all advice on this rebuild.
