$103! Rockwell Milling Machine MD21-120 Restoration Part 2 Base, Column and Knee

I like that welding table ;)

[@BurtonsAttic]

Hey it's adjustable height!

[@antoniegill7994]

When grinding on your tractor remember to cover your exposed hydraulic rods so that the grinding sparks dont cause pitting or settle as this will ruin your seals and damage the surface

[@totallyjonesin]

@@antoniegill7994 Yup, it wrecks glass too.

[@air-gunners-unite]

This is my second time watching the entire series. It's perfect! Thank you for filming.

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks Joey, glad you enjoyed it!

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Watching this is very soothing, glad I found your channel from Ca Lem

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thx!

[@tylerhensley2312]

The split screen is fantastic!

[@matthewpeterson3329]

I'm loving the Powell Peralta shirt. I think I had the same one back in '81, along with the rest of the "Bones" lineup.

[@BurtonsAttic]

Skate!

[@carbide1968]

You do good work. I like your style.

[@arkadiychernikov]

Titanic work Burton. Great work!

[@jeffanderson1653]

Beautiful tractor, beautiful scenery, We lost our home and shop to fire. Settled for a $600,000 home in a housing tract. We want to move. You are living my dream man. Please appreciate what you have. Nice job on the mill. It looks like the backside got a bit banged up

[@jeffanderson1653]

I should add, no mortgage. I got that going for me.

[@jefftaylor7511]

Detail, attention to detail makes all the difference in the world. Really nice project and I'm feeling a bit green with envy... Well done.

[@Fumingzeus]

I love watching these types of restorations. I wish I had the room and the knowledge to do this. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

[@dmorse1000]

Nice work, I like the paint booth!

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks Dave, easy to setup will some sheet plastic and a fan with a normal HVAC filter that fits the fan to draw out the fumes and trap the particles. I blow down the shop hours before hand and let any remaining dust settle before I start. Don't forget to move the cars away from the garage door just is case!!!

[@ducatista1098s]

Nice work. I had one pisser of a time on mine getting the knee handle dog clutch off. Otherwise I found it very well built, albeit with some finish items like burrs around holes and such that were not of the highest standard. Worth restoring and cool to see another guy who has done this. Ty.

[@JamesDedmon]

Coming right along, you have such an awesome shop. You will enjoy that mill once you get it up and running

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks James!

[@TR19]

Just finished your rockwell lathe series and now have stumbled upon this gem. Subscribed.

[@c130steve]

Excellent job. That tractor sure came in handy.

[@BurtonsAttic]

It does Steve!

[@jerrycoleman2610]

Very impressive on your restoration on your mil.!.!.!.

[@wayneparris3439]

I must say,, I like your venting system with the floor drying fans, I need to do that, nice!

[@BurtonsAttic]

It's an old dual fan from a school classroom A/C unit.

[@wayneparris3439]

@@BurtonsAttic Nice. I love reusing things too. I like how the door can be closed yet you can effectively move air. While I don't have access to the fans you have, the fans used to dry carpet which sit on the ground would do a similar job and I do know where to get them!

[@BurtonsAttic]

@@wayneparris3439 Yeah those are available everywhere now and should do the job. Those are also good around water I believe so the motor should be sealed which makes it safer than mine but it will move some air!

[@joshuaplummer1274]

Beautiful work..

[@jonivanart]

Looking good!!

[@siegfriedobrabender4215]

You have kool shop!

[@JourneymanRandy]

Its looking like a new one. Nice

[@jimhunt5259]

Just wow nice job

[@NickleJ]

Hey, you should be really weary of welding on your tractor bucket with those cylinder rods exposed like that. One little bb stuck to that rod can and will eat the wiper and gland seal right up. (2:30)

[@stevepitbull]

Outstanding.

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks Steve

[@houseofbrokendobbsthings5537]

Beautiful shop. Just one thing- red loc-tite is your friend. Especially on the crossfeed nut screws. Mine were loose and fooled showed up when milling. _Dan_

[@rickeycallen]

You really need to invest in evapo-rust....stuff is MAGIC

[@dannywilsher4165]

Looking good. What kind of racing do you do? On to part 3!

[@BurtonsAttic]

I have worked in ARCA and NASCAR.

[@dannywilsher4165]

@@BurtonsAttic Wow, that must have been a blast! I have drag raced all my life. My oldest son and his boys are now carrying on the tradition.

[@cmcnichols4]

I was sure you were going to hit the garage door at 6:23 lol

[@BurtonsAttic]

Easier to watch the top for clearance than anything else. Was doing this alone.

[@cmcnichols4]

@@BurtonsAttic really inspired by your work on the lathe and milling machine; I have two lathes (both small) that I am planning to restore - one is an Atlas/ Craftsman 109, and the other is a fairly rare Weidenhoff from the early 1900s. No milling machine yet but I am always looking. Thanks for your channel.

[@pollyg562]

3min mark did you get Bane to come in a do some painting???

[@johnfitzgerald6737]

I just bought one of these exact machines. These videos have been really helpful, thank you. I need to take the "Shaft for table raising crank" #145, out but cannot figure out how to remove #149 "Bearing holder with bearing", it just spins. I've seen how you put it together but I could not find how you took it apart. Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

[@UncleDonut66]

Forklifts make such great workbenches, don't they? I do that all the time.

[@BurtonsAttic]

I do it at the time, it's great for all kinds of temporary things! Read the comment and reply that Seth Bracken made on Part 5. You'll get a kick out of that!

[@gorillaau]

What ever it takes to find the right height... whatever it takes.

[@reynard101]

What do you use for degreasing? And what do you use for rust removal?

[@shakdidagalimal]

Well the $103 rockwell mill would have a hard time finding a better home - what a tear down...

[@burknstock]

That orange welding table....does it come with all the attachments its seams quite handy! ;) Nice job well done!

[@BurtonsAttic]

Hey hold up! It's red not orange! On the box it said *Some accessories not included*. Thanks for commenting Burk!

[@burknstock]

@@BurtonsAttic sorry my mistake! Red it is!

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

Please remember next time to cover your hydraulic rods on your tractor. The bb’s that come from welding can really mess up the chrome on the piston rods. Just. Thought. Nice rebuild.

[@jeffg3575]

Hi nice job, did you replace many of the bearings, how bad was the rust on the ways, did you rescrape them or were they ok. The water in the gearbox did not look to have done much damage, a very cheap mill & a lot of hard work. Jeff

[@fernandonogueira3290]

🎥 Nice job 🎬 ! _ Congratulations! 👍 🇧🇷

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks Fernando! 👍

[@slackalloy4914]

What’s with the air raid siren (if that’s what it is) at 1:18 ?

[@BurtonsAttic]

Nuclear power plant warning siren test......

[@michaeldenton8610]

Awesome job! was that a TVA alarm?

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks Micheal! From a nuclear plant, just a test of course!

[@fasousa4798]

Good job. What kind of paint are you using? thanks

[@BurtonsAttic]

Thanks, it's just enamel........Their is a shot of the can and paint chart in one of the videos.

[@fasousa4798]

So one component only?

[@jimhunt5259]

did you make the feet?

[@BurtonsAttic]

You made me laugh out loud Jim! I suppose that I could but no.....Amazon. Hey their rated for 5000lbs! Thanks for commenting, Happy Holidays!

[@Yoursoul101]

Genuinely asking this because you're the 2nd guy I see do this and I'm not metal work expert, but I'm curious. On the gib you used like lead or some solder to fix the hole. Why? Why not use like a welder and build a layer of metal with the welder? Wouldn't it be stronger than anything that can be melted? Also, what is that metal that you used? was that like brazing?

[@enzosparrano6389]

Where do you find these deals?

[@BurtonsAttic]

Auction

[@zoesdada8923]

Must be nice to have a million dollars worth of tools.

[@glennmoreland6457]

The emblem on the base of that machine looks like a pair of hands clasped together...hoping for a sign.. Looks like it's prayers were answered...

I have no idea what that logo represents but that sounds good!
