Hello y'all,
So I started tinkering with this thing and I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on.
First, I need to remove the short gear shaft behind the 2 main bearing caps so I can relocate the belt.
I got the handle off and the set-screws out & can see what looks to be a slotted bushing, but it ain't moving. See pic.
Next, when turning over by hand with the front lead screw shaft it was not smooth. Was binding up in the gears. I checked the gears & they're good, but just too tight. I saw the adjustment arm but have yet to touch it...
I bought the lathe to use it but I need to relocate the motor from behind it to on top, hence the first question above.
Thoughts or advice?
