Biax 7EL assembly/repair !arnin" pi# hea$y%

I recently purchased a Biax 7EL scraper off ebay... The motor in it has problems which I knew about before I purchased and while I am getting them sorted out I decided to disassemble the mechanism and give it a clean and re grease! while doing this I took note of the bearing numbers and also took photo"s as I know a few members here have these machines and may need the info in the future.... #ow the pictures are going to look a bit strange as I took them as I was putting it back together! but anyway here goes. $irstly remove the motor assembly from the mechanical assembly by unscrewing the chromed ring.. It will end up looking like this

Then remove the hexagonal end cap and the tool holder %the tool holder screws are very tight! do not strip the heads! use the correct screwdriver&! then remove the three small nuts! including the one that holds the leather strap on! the rear nut is shown in this picture. 'ou will end up with two pieces like so

#ow remove the cotter pin on the stroke ad(usting nut! remove the nut and screw out the ad(usting bolt! then remove the three small screws on top of the stroke motion maker..)arefully prise out the top section so it looks like this

I should point out all threads I came across were normal right hand threads.. #ow there are two small nuts you can get to.... /nscrew these nuts and you can remove the gearbox casting cover

The bearings in here are as follows... The bearing next to the steel helical gear is a deep groove ball bearing number 0*+,. The bearing next to the stroke thingie is a double row angular contact bearing number 1*+1. The steel gear and shaft comes out as an assembly..

The angular contact bearing can be removed by making up another tool to unscrew the retainer ..There is a belleville washer in here below the threaded retainer

Thanks for reposting the pictures $'I if anyone runs across one needing new brushes you can buy replacement brushes for a different motor and modify them to fit using a file.
