Yeah, I am talking about the X3. I tried using those ports, but I think i spilled more oil than went in. So I took my head appart, and found about every screw in it loose. I did find my belt was eaten up really bad. I am not sure why as my machine has not that much time on it. It appeared to be lined up good. I installed the spare the came with my mill so no to get me another spare for sure. I greased the crap out of it and still roars bad. I did not bust into the spindle I have to figure out how that comes appart still.
I also got to confirm a few things about my belt conversion. The out side of my motor say .8 HP and 4000rpm. So that lead me to believe the hi speed of the mill 2:1 ratio. I am thinking moving toward 1.5:1 to give me around 3000rpm.
