Just Googled Garwood Winch, were they hydraulic or PTO, driven ?Sorry was 40 years ago at least, And ours was Maroon
I do remember groveling to reach anything after removing cover
Just FYI.... at least some tubeless sealants react with CO2 on the tyre... and all the sealant solidifies into a silicon rubber looking lump.
I haven't the faintest idea how some hard challenged rough machinist managed this feat ....
Is 6mm material thickness sufficient at this point, or not???
6mm is a bit thin for cast iron. If it was steel the worst that could happen is it flexes.
Something new again ...
.... linked to a question ....
It is well known that one of the limiting factors of the Myford 7-series lathes is the low centre height.
I had read that some people reduce the height of the top slide by milling it off and I had also found videos on this, but I wanted to leave my top slide original.
Then I came across these newly available angular blanks, for which it would not hurt to make a change and which are also supposed to make the fitting of a DRO easier or even possible in the first place.
Sounded good, especially as these are cheaper to have new than any used ones of uncertain condition on a certain auction platform.

Some time ago I decided on the QCTP system "Multifix Aa" for my little Myford,
with which my tool holder base ["C"] grows by 6mm lying on the top slide.

Now, unless I want to mill/grind every single tool holder at the bottom to reduce its dimension "C" (and thus weaken it), it seems to me that the only place to gain height is the upper side of the top slide.

The countersink for the base of the basic tool holder bolt is also present in the blank.
The material thickness at this point is just under 9mm to the surface.
View attachment 346960
Lowering the surface by 3mm would already help me enormously,
leaving a material thickness of just under 6mm above the tool holder bolt basis.
This seemed sufficient to me and I have already seen this realised in videos with the original part ....
.... I was sure that I now know what to do .....
... and then yesterday I stumbled across this offer in the Bay of Evil, from which I still haven't quite recovered ....
View attachment 346961
Really nicely said "needs attention" - nobody wanted the thing at the asking price of ₤45.00 - what wonder ....
... but do I better change my plans regarding my top slide now???
Thanks,
Carsten

Make the counter bore underneath bigger, or rather wider, and make a new stud with essentially a big washer on the base, more surface area means less chance of tearout like the ebay wonder!
