First Milling machine right side bearing bracket power feed

[Techie1961]

I have a First mill that I bought and it had a power feed unit on it. When I got it though, the power feed was removed and the remaining bracket and gear were left on it. There is no bearing in this end and it is usable but moves around a bit.

I'm hoping that someone has a bearing bracket laying around when they put on a power feed that they would like to sell. Also, does anyone know if the Bridgeports are compatible?

Somethings missing as the powerfeed setups still have a bearing on that end. I think I have a spare end, I'd have to look. What bridgeport is that? I would think the 9" tables would swap with each other. I'd bet the larger table would have larger ends but maybe not.

Thanks for the reply. The mill is a Bridgeport clone called First. I think that all of the parts are interchangeable but not certain. From what I can tell, the bearing must be in the powerfeed unit that would hang off the bracket.

Man, I wish I could right now. Many reasons and a long story on why I can't afford it (partly due to trying to get my shop done). The price would be great if I was in the US as well. The price once I get exchanged to Canadian Dollars, pay for shipping and brokerage and I am getting close to $500.
