Animal, can you be more specific about the ‘rod thru the spindle test’? I’m not sure what that is or how to do it - thanks.

Hello, first post here...

I have a 1947 SB "Heavy 10". Whenever I exert a little too much pressure
when using a parting tool, I can hear 'banging or clattering' in the headstock.
Is this an indication of worn out main bearings?
