Is your machine level?

Just finished a little project on my RT 56.
It always teeter tottered and the leg levels were rusted solid. I tried various types of products and nothing would loosen any of the leg levelers. I already had the compressor out so I just drilled out the old ones.
Ordered the inserts from SJW, and the leg levelers from FunT. I looked around the local box stores and the closest I found was 5 /8 and they were for wood. They are a 3/8 (16) insert and so our he levelers. My neighbor a mechanic had a wire feed welder which only took about 10 mins.

Did exactly that Leonard !
Make a big difference worth the extra $15.00 and the labor to go with it.
