2 years, Try putting a blade on sometimes, Can't just work on the mill all the time.  :D :D ;)

I've found where vibration is breaking a weld I can go in, clean it up, and braze it back together.  Problem solved.

Brazing takes a little time and finesse so welders avoid doing it.  Besides they know you will be back with more $$$'s if they weld it. :D :D

Magicman, could you tell more on the B 57 belt? The guy I bought my LT40 from said he had better luck with the next size down belt. He said it is hard to get on so it does not sit loose on the wheel like the WM recommended belt size. Is there a reason that belt is supposed to be a loose fit? Mountain.

You might consider solving the vibration issue.

I too am wondering why it is vibrating and where it is coming from?  Are you running Wood-Mizer B57 belts?

[Magicman]

Wood-Mizer did the Research & Development and recommends the loose B57.  I have followed their recommendation for 15 years and have no problem with the B57's.  For whatever reason some folks use the B56, but that is their decision/choice.

Wood-Mizer's B57 belts are manufactured to their specification and are flat on top with no ply overlap which would cause unevenness and could bump as the belt passes around it.

I have used the b57 over 30 years and they work well. The b57s from the auto parts store are not the same as Wood Mizers.
