I purchased a Hendey lathe and brought it home this past weekend. It's a 1947 #2 general purpose lathe serial # 37212H91. I haven't been able to find much about these particular models yet, nor have I found a manual which depicts this style lathe. I did find one post where Hendeyman said that these were new models introduced in 1947. Overall, this machine looks to be in good condition. I've found one problem, which I'm hoping someone can help me with. I haven't had a chance to take it apart yet to try and fix it, but there's a large pin which looks to have wiggled loose and now prevents the large pulley in the primary belt drive from turning. The pulley is grooved on the inside from hitting this pin, so it looks like it's been a growing problem. At this point it's fully obstructed. The pin will pull all the way out, but cannot be pushed in any further. Does anyone know it's purpose? I've included a picture of that.
Also, The large lever on the headstock controls the belt. The smaller lever towards the right end of the headstock I believe is the backgear, correct? And then at the far left end of the headstock is a small black knob which can be pulled out. This engages a different gear, which I'm unsure of the purpose. None of the manuals I've seen so far show a lathe with this knob.
Thanks in advance
