I forgot to drain the oil before removing the head so I had to do it before mov ing it to my workbench. I propped it up at an angle on the edge of a step stool and let it drain for a while. The drain plug on these mills is easy to miss. It's under neath the head near the third mounting bolt. The plug has got a hex allen head.

I have added a gas spring head counter balance and Z axis power feed to my mill. These are the upper gas spring mounts which I fabricated from 1/8" mild steel and two stainless ball mounts. The two electrical connections are for the motor and for the control box. The cables run throught the inside of the column down through the base to the VFD.
