Gearbox refurbers recommendations wanted

[Theblackbox]

Hi all

After some recommendations/advice been dealing with the restoration on my eisle cold saw for quite some time.

I’m nearing completion but have discovered the gearbox is nearly solid I can free it off partially and then soon seizes up again so I think one or more of the needle roller bearings need replacing. The saw was left outside before I got it so maybe there’s been some moisture got in somewhere. I’ve had it over a year and I put fresh oil in it as soon as I brought it

I’m struggling with time and it’s a bit out of my knowledge. So could do with some recommendations of somewhere that would strip and put new bearings in this gearbox.

I can take the gearbox off the saw but it’s a heavy lump so shipping is going to be expensive so ideally somewhere I can take it to in the southwest.

I’ve added a couple of pics of the internals.

Looks like a lot of gear dust spread about, can you see any damage on the gears.
Did you get water out when drained? or was the oil cloudy, if it is bad enough to goes tight be prepared for shafts & or gears.

Wanted - Eisele VMS III S/PV manuals

Greetings all, been lurking here for a bit trying to learn what I can, but now I need some help. I recently picked up an Eisele VMS-IIIPV via eBay. I have video that everything was working great - the auto clamping, coolant, feed speed adjustment, etc. Amazingly, it was a single-owner machine...

It’s a vms 2 nearly fully rebuilt the rest of it but didn’t check the gearbox first

Thanks for the info. Does seem to have a bit of dust in there some of it could be more from the workshop when I’ve been working on it the past few weeks

It was fairly loose but then had some tight spots now can’t turn at all! Gears all seem perfect condition can’t see any damage on them. From memory the old oil was just a bit cloudy or dirty.

I’m based in Taunton Somerset.
