I have 2 problems. The first involves my own fault. While working on the quill power feed I neglected to put the y axis table feed in the off position. This resulted in the y axis jamming up against the column. The y power feed was on and working. I don't want to force anything here but I can't get it unstuck. Any ideas will be appreciated.
This brings me to my second problem. The y axis saddle feed has been taken apart before I bought the mill. I believe that the individual didn't tighten setscrew number 14 down to prevent the saddle control shifter lever from getting out of synchronization. The shifter lever won't snap into the detents up and down to control the table movement. The mill had a screw stuck in a screw hole that held the lever into neutral. That fell out when I was working on the quill and thus the jambing occurred. All of this could have been prevented if the stops had worked but they don't either. Needless to say I have a lot of issues all located on the y axis. I would like to start with getting the y axis unstuck so If anyone has any ideas I would love to here them.
Many thanks!
