I have a 1952 Sidney model 32 lathe, and the cross feed handle that engages the hirth clutch will not stay engaged. Does anyone have a photo of their handle that works properly?
The problem could be the hirth serrated clutch, bearing clearances, handle adjustment, or wear on the handle itself that is causing the problem. The manual shows a sharp corner for a cam action when pulled, but mine has a radius.
The handle in question is part number LW-189.
Thank you!
