I am part of a shared shop and one of our members purchased a Cazeneuve 360 HBX that is in great shape. We used it very briefly but it is raining so much oil that we really can't use it. We knew it had this issue when we bought it. So, it is time to replace the variator seals. I have read all the various threads here in the forum. In addition, the person we bought it from has extensive experience with Caz machines (he has owned many of them) and has done this repair before and will help us when he can.
I figured that I would start a thread here to perhaps share our experience with the group and hopefully be able pick your brains when necessary. There are a few projects that need to be done with this machine: replace the upper and lower variator seals, replace the lead screw tube seals (one leaks a steady drip when running), fix a sticky Metric/Whitworth engagement, and refurbish and install an old/damaged Caz taper attachment.
Attached are some pictures of this beautiful machine:
