This is probably something most of you wouldn't be interested in, but I converted a table top mill to CNC to do a lot of my custom work on Cub Cadets. It's too long to put here, but if you're interested I have it under the Special Projects section of cubcadetman.com. It has to be one of the neatest projects I've been involved with and was a lot of fun to do. If you're interested and have questions, just email me and I'd be glad to answer if I can. I'll try to remember to check back here, but no promises.

Paul....Very nice ! More than i could afford but a sweet idea for those who can. I'm happy I have access to a Bridgeport mill and lathe. If I had access to something like that I would really get myself in trouble

Paul E. Funk Cool!! We have a local company that sells CNC mills starting @ $10K. I decided not to put down $1K for their 3 day workshop held last week. But may see if I can intern ($0 pay) this winter. Their website really got me interested last year when I discovered it, I had to watch all of their videos...Tormach.com
Guys, thanks for all the nice comments. Kendell, I don't belong to any of the Yahoo groups. This was a one shot deal. It was something I wanted to do so I'd have CNC capabilities. Now that I've done it, I'm really only interested in using it. The writeup was a way of remembering what I did in case I had any problems. I became aware of that when one of the controllers quit working. Fortunately the company that I bought them from sent me a free replacement. They said they repair free of charge or replace as long as it's not my fault that it quit.
Glad you enjoyed the article.
