Updating the compression roller.

Essicks VR30 Manual is now shared aka public.

There was a change in the front roller aka compression roller.  Units up to and including 72410021 used a "flex mount with bushing", aka rubber donut, on both ends of the roller.  These are omitted on 72410022 and later.  Need to figure out what parts need to be obtained or fabricated to convert to the newer setup.  Or how to make the older units with dead flex mount bushings.

Both use bearing 902095. 

Bearing housing PN differ.

Older unit uses a part called a stub axle with one being open ended and the other closed.   The newer units uses a part called bearing retainer on both sides.

Vibrator shafts PN differ.

Seat

Back to working on the seat.   Ordered the bugle head screws to mount the seat cushions to the frame.  The black paint on the seat brackets has faded and now looks like OE equipment.   Had the plywood seat bases outside and the paint failed.  Sanded them down and repainted.  

Just need to figure out where to drill the holes in the bases so the seat fits on the roller.  Then send it over to be upholstered if the lady is still interested in doing it.

Should clean that carb and get it running again this summer.  Now that I can do some machining I should take a look at the drawings for the units without the rubber suspension and see if I can convert my front roller to that setup.
