Oh, yes Brent.
I have that affliction also. I consider myself a jack of all trades but amster of none. And I have the tools to prove it (some only used once). I am happy so what esle could anyone ask for.

Do any of you with a Drum Dokter have the manual that you would be willing to scan? I have a Model B-500 that I need a manual for.

Can we revive this thread?

My concern is the OD of the race built into the rear housing is 2.060(quick caliper measurement on one of mine). There would appear to be a lot of play centering off of the installed bearings with that 2.056 adapter.

I've recently acquired one of these machines and am able to make any adapter needed. I currently have a large rear cone, a stepped rear adapter(that I could easily turn to fit the hub rear), and have already made a small cone. The inner bearing race appears the best place to register but with the bearings in place, I just can't see it giving good repeatable results.

Model AA meetings would be good therapy but wouldn't discourage the tool buying.

Razkid, I have most of the Barrett brake manuals for the various Barrett pieces of equipment. Just tell me what manuals you want and I will email the manual pages. Harry Barrett's quality produced are a keen interest of mine. The B500 was later equipped also with a rotor turning attachment when FMC acquired the Barrett company and the Snap On acquired FMC Barrett and sold their alignment equipment.
