Did some cleaning last night. Everything is fairly free now. The head is still stiff. It will turn with back gear engaged but very stiff straight run. Here are a few close ups of the bed.

Interesting piece behind the cross-slide. I'm guessing it's part of a follow rest since it's not attached to the cross-slide? I've seen some like that home-made, not an original cast iron one.
Has the usual Hendey issue of front bearing of spindle dragging /binding in its tapered bore
Lots of threads on this forum addressing same
Not an adjustment issue - its a take apart and fix situation. In the process you get to learn about and appreciate Hendey's magnificent oiling system for the spindle bearings
After reading some of the other post, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the other information as well.
Thanks for the info. Handy right here. Do you know if anything has reverse threads? I hate to start trying to take something off and it is threaded backwards.
