Default Jackson Machine & Tool No.2 mill!!??

I first laid eyes on this driving thru a small town in central California. I contacted the owner and over the next 9 month I “convinced” him to sell this machine to me!*G* I've got it all apart now, I'll clean-up the small part & take the big parts down to be hot tanked.
One problem I'm finding is I don't know much about this mill. I would like to get a manual just to I.D. the parts ...and maybe operating instructions!?? But I haven't been able to run across anybody that has any knowledge! SO I'm hoping some here can help!?? ANY info would greatly be appreciated! THX! ...Mark

Beautiful small american made vertical mill. Hard to find. Easy to use. Get any book about basic machine shop, the controlls are virtualy interchanable. You really lucked out, that for how old it is, it has x+y micrometer dials! If you still need help, find a retired millwright or machinist in your area.
