I rebuilt this lathe, and it's been running fine until tonight. While working on cutting threads and using the back gear things got heated up and I broke my leather belt.
While using the back gear and also supporting the shaft using a tail stock the bull gear on the head stock is now providing friction to the pulley cone. Only when I use a tail stock with pressure.
Looking for ideas.. I can't take it apart until I finish my project. It got pretty hard to turn while the back gear was in. If I take the back gear out it's free to turn.
The bullgear pin is not even engaged, but it acts like it is. Take the tail stock pressure off and it's fine. and free wheels w/o the pulley turning.
Thanks for any help
