Spent the last three days trying to find a shop that will turn the new cast iron drums on Markus 31,
Must have went over 100 miles back and forth no one could not just tell me they could not do it, they all had to look at it first, then say no
So got more upset and went out and bought a brake lathe fmc 600 now having to order the adapter for the taper hub,
Thought about having a machine shop build one anyone know the size of the centering cone i understand this is not a taper cone, but one that fits in the hub less the roller bearing anyone out there had this much fun yet,
