Finally got my hands greasy today.
A chap stopped in with a butterfly valve that shuts off the air to a 2000 cf. compressor. It was sticking closed, the bottom pivot was worn, needed bored out and bushed. BUT the mill wasn't tall enough so I finally installed the 10 inch riser I bought 4 or 5 years ago. Once again the overhead crane came to the rescue, but it was holding the head so had to man handle the riser up there by hand.
Then had to use some ingenuity to get the housing clamped.
Made up a pin to fit the lower busing, centered the table to it then moved the top around to centre it.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
