Says everyone on the Internet!
Someone I know and trust. Ron Grundy is a friend and he worked at K&T for 30(?) years, and was in charge of the rebuild division at one point. I know him. I trust him. I'm taking these parts to him to examine first hand, if you really think you need to know, which you don't.
If he tells me I can and how to replace the bearings, I will. If not, I'll make a decision from there, from his advice, not some random person on a forum. Sorry to crush your egos so harshly. I have a 2HP Bridgeport already. Although a model H vertical would be a fun addition to the shop. My shop is neither a production or job shop. It's a hobby. I have neither the experience or skill to make it anything other than that. At least not for the next 15 years or so. Maybe when I retire from my cushy desk job.

2h universal is nice.. I have a 2h plain ww2 vintage and I got it at a good price.... If you find a universal, you can swivel the table to cut helices if you have the proper dividing head and lead attachment... You can do that with a plain table if you have a vertical head to set to the angle of the helix, but again you need a dividing head linked to a lead attachment....I hope to find the type of head you have for my 2hl universal to add to my collection and I guess there will be another drive gear to cut... I also like the light vertical head and I have a factory drive gear for that already.... Cheers from HOT Louisiana; Ramsay 1

I have told my doctor that I am like the old machinery I used to work on... If you take the inspection plates off, no telling what you will find bent, stripped, twisted, broken, cracked, etc...He gave me a funny look..lol.. Cheers from HOT Louisiana....Ramsay 1

I have wanted for quite some time the smaller K&T vertical machine.. A friend had one years ago and I always wanted one but at age 70 my days of owning one are probably dwindling... Cheers from Louisiana... Ramsay 1

You trying to tell me that you don't trust Ramsey's expertise??? He's very knowledgeable of K & T mills in my opinion.Says everyone on the Internet!

This is a partial list of Mr. Ramseys contribution to vintage machinery.org.
I know that as a machinist Ramsey ran K&T mills for years and owns several.
He is an expert. He has made K&T his specialty.
I'm a random forum member, Ramsey is not.
Why waste time if members here are ramdom members? Are you ramdom? Expert?
I dont know mr Grundy, no disrespect.

As a random dummy Ill say this. This is not a question that refers to just K& T milling head. It could be a Cincinatti milling head. It's a question about what effect those rust spots will have on a product.
He got some good advice. It will make noise and could affect the finish if it set up what I would call a harmonic inballance. Vibration
It could run fine. Im not a machinest but machinery has been my life.
It won't blow up without ample warning.
The advice he got was from guys/ gal's that have been around such issues for years of experience.
Learn from the randoms.
That word got me. Random.
Ron Grundy a k&t rebuilder would put in new parts.

Such a sensitive lot. I hope you didn't run out of tissues.
I don't know why you all care so much about who's advice I take and who's I don't. I am not knocking anyone for offering advice. Doesn't mean I have to follow it. Why on earth you are knocking ME for not immediately running out to my shop, and put in play whatever was added to this thread? Sheesh.
I am as random and as un-expert as they get.
Why else would I come here to glean nibbles of expertise from all you sages?
Some of you need to lighten up, Francis. (That's a partial quote from the movie "Stripes" for all the uninitiated.)

I posted a link to a video. And a photo of what I discovered. I received unsolicited advice. Which I have no issue with. But on which I have taken no action. Because I want to get another opinion. From another expert. That can see it up close. Not in a picture. But in his hands. Why do you give a rats patootie?

I believe Ron G would tell you he would not to run it. He rebuilt mills.
These guys suggested put it together and try it. They have lived in the real world that to get jobs out they have had to give it a try.
They and I have seen bearing damage and gave their opinion.
Keeping a machine running while parts are ordered in the real world not playing for utube hits.
You're a little heavy with the hammer on the utube screen sometimes.
I'll give a rat's A about what I choose.

If the machine belonged to me I’d put it back together and run it. If the machine belonged to a customer I’d advise him to get brand new parts.Such a sensitive lot. I hope you didn't run out of tissues.

if the machine belonged to me I’d put it back together and see how it runs. If the machine belonged to a customer I’d be insisting on new parts if he wanted some sort of warranty/guarantee.
Regards Tyrone

Thanks, but in all honesty, I am just an old retired man who loves to tinker.. I never went to school for machine work, never worked in a machine shop.. I just started in about 1974 collecting and tinkering with old machines.. I posted lots of stuff on Keith's site because I am not getting any younger and I know that when I take my dirt nap, all of this info will go in the trash.. I enjoy reading about what others do and watching them on Youtube.. It's all in fun.. Cheers from Hot louisiana; Ramsay 1

Your aproaching 50 years of tinkering and studying all the manuals, literature and tinkering.Thanks, but in all honesty, I am just an old retired man who loves to tinker..

You answer a lot of questions related to these mills. Often a guy goes to work and comes home and becomes more knowledgable about what they really like and have an interest in.
Posting all that literature takes a lot of time.
Especially all those serial / lot number pages that you saved. That information could have been lost.

Yes, it has been a long time... I worked in the stevedoring industry, mostly on material handling machines and would come home and spend evenings in my home shop.. I stopped working, retired 16 years ago and spent more time in my home shop..I enjoyed it all...It was quite time consuming scanning the manuals, especially the lot number book but I enjoyed it all and want for everyone to enjoy the info... Cheers and be safe... Ramsay 1

Now you Spam the forum with someone elses utube channel. I didnt watch it but its not related by seeing the photo.
Anyone here can go to your utube if they wish to see your videos. Posting a utube video every other post is advertising your channel.
If you get by with this a whole group of utubers will move into the forum by creating a Thread related to their channel to get free advertising.
Watched part of one with struggling and pushing the gearbox in. Way to long and drawn out and not teaching anyone anything.
So, I dont watch.
Everyone else uses photos and typed explanations.
Maybe there is a good reason the P.M. webaite only supports very short usage on videos besides storing all that data.
You can buy an add on P.M,
I'm done posting on this thread. This is not why I'm here.

Watch the video. It's a relevant message just for people like you. I will quote part of it:
"And then there's a few people on the internet, when you don't take their advice, they get really pi$$y about it. It's not like there are other ways of doing it. I don't know that you're the God you think you are all the time. I'm not going to take everyone's advice just because they say 'You should do this."
Don't go away mad, just go away. I'm still trying to figure out why you are here.
