A buddy of mine and I are restoring a Perkins mill that looks very similar to the one you have. We need to pour new bearings and turn or replace the pulley shaft. Did you remove the pulley/flywheel and blace backing flange (inner) when (Image hidden from quote, click to view.) (Image hidden from quote, click to view.) doing your restoration. I've attached a few photos. Thanks.
I hope you don't over tax that Farmall ! Isn't it nice to finish something, that's the hardest part. Congratulations.
Thanks for the several replies about grease fittings vs oilers. I agree oilers here would be best. I work with a number of portable steam engines and tractors which have a variety of oilers and greasing mechanisms. I think a drip oiler for the shingle mill might be what we want to do.

Thanks Kevin, wanted to ask about the carriage on your mill. Does the cradle that holds the block have adjustment holes on one side that would allow for moving one side of the clamp to cut different length shingles? Also, what length of shingle have you been cutting. I'll attach a photo of the carriage on our mill.
