Shiz Hornets Nest

I've been concerned about the front cover over the spindle area for awhile.

I had a minute to work on the machine last night so I pulled it off.

I expected to see a hornets nest, but it was not too bad.

Why did'nt I remove this cover when I was washing the machine? - - What was I thinking?

Dominic - look at the spindle housing to the right of the lead screw
There is some oil and water at the bottom.
Fortunately the Gunk keeps the water and oil mixed until the water evaporates - then you've got oil and Gunk...

The "back gear"   I should have looked here when I was washing too. Fuzzy logic strikes again.
