That is a really interesting video, thanks for taking so much trouble. I'm not sure I agree with some of the comments below about using modern adhesive. Lead/babbit has a different reaction to stress. The same problem allies to older vehicles that have babbit bearings for the crankshaft. Modern shell bearings have no empathy whereas babbit is less stressful to steel parts. I would welcome anyone else's opinion.
Adhesive would be a simpler and less messy repair... lots of brands can adhere your parts solidly and probably stronger than lead....also the risk of heating ( and the cooling ) which could crack your cast parts....not wirth the risk...and save your paint too.... old ways worked but are Old Ways that are not the only options nowadays....will wait to see your solution.
The sound is Bad! Hoping Part 2 will sound a lot better. These are the first videos I've done so hopefully Quality will get better. Thanks for watching. Thanks for your comment it really helps me for future videos!
The use of lead to set these parts was a bad design from the beginning. Why persist with it? Modern urethane resins would be far superior and more durable.
So glad you're doing your bit to save a craft that is on the endangered list. 👍

why didn't you just hire Dom's jig and redo the Babbitt
Thanks for watching, in Part 2 all will be revealed. Which I'm hoping to release on 30th August 23
i was also thinking, the Jig would have been a lot easier. However, we'll see what happens in Part 2.
Hopefully it will all make sense in Part 2. I made my own jig before I met Dom. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy part 2
You are asking for trouble having a laminated floor In a workshop ,that's an no go
Thanks for posting up the video. Your audio needs work but hopefully you can improve on that. Subbed.

First off, it's a wheeling machine or wheel. Unless you are American.
