By far the best 8520 restoration videos I’ve seen. I’m about to start a resto on a 8530, and the detail in your videos has given me a huge leg up… and inspiration. Beautiful work. Thank you!
Good luck! It was a lot more work than I thought it would be but mine was also a lot dirtier than most. Thankfully, it was in decent shape under the grime and surface rust
Wow impressive looks very sweet. Would be great if you do a video going through what went easy what was tough things people should look out for if they take theirs apart.
I plan on doing an update video at some point going over some issues I've run into after some time on the machine and some upgrades I want to make. I'll try to work that in as well. These videos already ran much longer than my usual projects. The biggest issues on digging into any of these old machines are around the bearings and I would hesitate to even begin to present myself as an authority on that topi, but I'll certainly speak on my experience and what my thought process was on things like lubrication and preload.
Can you link the spindle bearings you used? I rebuilt my 8520 but haven't touched the bearings yet. Now that I've been running it for a while I'm realizing it's louder than it should be.

Thankfully they are not expensive compared to other spindle bearings, but at the moment I'm having issues with heat. I may have just over packed them with grease. The ones I replaced may not have been original and theres a chance they are not the proper spec, but if you dig online it seems every Clausing has different bearings. They probably just used whatever was convenient. Changing the spindle bearings is a pain in the ass so I would try to rule out the noise coming from the other bearings in the pulleys first. Getting the preload right in the spindle bearings in a home shop setup is also not an exact science and could be my problem as well.
I WANT ONE!!!🤩
