Disassembly of Hendey-Norton No 2 table

Dr. Hillbilly · Jul 29, 2020

With help from a previous post (mainly from John Oder) I determined that that I have a sheared key or pin between the red and blue circles (with he help of a borescope)

So my idea was to hang the table from the overarm support, remove the retaining bolts, and lower the knee to expose the gear-train. But the knee does not want to move. The two obvious possibilities are that 100 years of corrosion will require more force, or that I have missed secret fasteners and I am about to break something. Any experience any of you can provide before I risk damage is appreciated.

Due to their relative few numbers, I would imagine it will be more productive to inquire of the known expert on all stuff Hendey

He has posted his email on this forum, and here it is

Thanks John,
I tried to private message him through the forum, but he seems to have taken down his address so I cannot do so.

I suspect that there could be more fasteners between the top and bottom part of the saddle. Personally, I'd have removed the table first.

If it turns out you need indeed to remove the table, first put back and tighten the fasteners you've removed.

My Hendey Norton No.1 1/2 universal's knee elevation screw passes below the base. Your No.2 universal may be the same. I can't say if they were built that way or getting ready to fail. So the buddy I bought it from, had already rebuilt that screw. I bored a hole about 6" deep in the garage floor to accommodate.

Actually removal of the table is not intuitive. The dovetail ways force it to be removed laterally, but there are positive stops somewhere under the table that I cannot find.
