Re: second part of the history of an early ww handcrank

Hi; I am not sure if I am getting the new pictures or not. Are they in the same series as t your others, if not how are they listed? IF in pictures #8 & #11 the little green arrows are supposed to b showing the direction of rotation, note they?are pointed the wrong way. The top of the hook & pulley as you sit facing the machine should turn away from you.?
Completely remove the two screws from the pulley & squirt a bit of penetrant in the bottoms of the holes. Be sure & not lose them as they will be hard to replace. Let sit a while & try twisting the hook while holding the pulley. You can also try tapping lightly a bit but be sure & not hit a delicate part. You are going to have to get that shaft to move inside the pulley before you can make corrections. Normally this is not a problem, but I highly suspect that somehow the machine was jammed while in operation & the momentum of the flywheel slipped the shaft while under screw tension. Possibly this raised a slight burr on the shaft, thus making it difficult to move. 1miller/TN
