The thing that ticks me about the shipping is that they would probably ship it in a padded envelop from Springfield Mo which is about a 5 hour drive from my front door, with the actual weight of the part and the padded envelope being well under 8 OZ.
Whats really funny is a buddy of mine has and Enco 14X40 which probably has the same gear setup in it that mine does and he's never had a problem. I even added a line to put lube directly onto the gears, of course I also had to make from scratch the bracket that holds the worm in place behind the apron. I found that it was loose and floating around and when I took it off a couple years ago found that it had cracks in it, Grizzly was out of stock so I made one out of a hunk of 4140 that was laying around here.
Guess I could take some measurement when I tear the thing apart and use the rest of the hunk of 4140 Annealed round bar to make a Hob by cutting the Acme Thread on it then putting in a bunch of relief cuts for chip clearance and harden it.
Now if I can just remember where the Shop Monster put that 4 MM broach at when I told him to stop chewing on it that it wasn't a Rib Bone I'll be doing ok.
