Just purchased FP1

Don thanks for the lead- I ended up purchasing the Kaste Fp1. The dealer got the mill from Suss Microtech when they closed up shop in Vermont.

I picked up the mill from the dealer in CT and got it loaded into the shop today.
I have to say I am very happy with the purchase.
The mill is a Mk.2 metric machine of serial number R-37610. On looking the machine over it looks a bit beat up but hasn't seen too much run time. All the original scraping is intact on all surfaces and the gears look like they were built yesterday and have very little apparent wear and perfectly glean oil. The machine shifts with ease to all positions.
I found backlash of .075mm on Y(short axis), .075mm on X(long axis) and .125mm on Z(vertical axis).
The mill is supplied with a working but older Acu-Rite DRO.

The machine looks to have been used little or not of all for some years and shows it- some rust and gummy surfaces everywhere.
I will got over the mill and clean everything up.
For some reason the two table wheels are newer than the top wheel...?

Here is the machine still on pallet in shop:


I didn't get anything in way of accessories and this is the tooling I got:



A short set of inch and the ten metric collets.

The mill has the standard table but came with this 12x8 UVT sine table as a consolation prize:



And this mystery part?:



I have a few questions to start-
The Large fiber drive pulley is keyed but there is no pin or set screw- If I pull the rear belt cover it will slide right off.
Now my machine is missing the hand drive wheel on the back of machine- did the shaft for that wheel secure this pulley somehow?
How do I remove this collet holder? or tooling in general?:



And more important- what is the consensus on the spindle bearing grease on these old machines?
Should one open up the spindle to renew the grease of leave as is?

I don't mind opening up and getting the correct grease for these bearings if it is advised.

Thanks all
