Thread: 2H clutch lever and shaft?

My 2h has a mishap that damaged the clutch lever and bent the shaft. I can rotate the shaft by lifting it but, I will need to remove it to straighten the end that the lever is attached to. What do I have to do to remove the shaft? Anybody parting a 2H that has a clutch lever and Y axis hand wheel?

Thanks,

Steve

Lift the clutch shaft up, and put a block under it to hold it up. Remove the castle nut from the pulley end and then remove the speed box from the left side, it weighs approx 100 LBS. Use the push off screw holes at the top and bottom to help separate the box from the column. From there you should see how to get the shaft out. May have to do electrical work in the process.

Als machinerey has one sitting in the pile in the back of the shop. Als phone number is 520-574-2776. I would be willing to ship it for you if needed. you can tell Al I sent you. I dont know what he wants for it and he can be a pain to deal with. I will let him know you might call.

Thank You Harry and, Kevin.

I will call this week, is that the guy you worked for Kevin?

Yep that is the guy. I will call him in the morning he has a thing about selling parts but there is no way he is ever going to need that thing it has been sitting their for years. He wont even buy K&T horizontals you need to give them to him and deliver them.

Steve,
Fess up, what happened to the mill? During a move?
Inquiring minds need to know.
