So here it is - you can even see the set screw that let's you unbind dial for setting.

How do you get the dial #29 assy off so you can put on a gear there?
 
Thanks John - what I am wanting to do probably was never intended - gear on DH itself, when the whole plan is to use the appropriate gear box - standard or low lead - with its drive shaft. I'll figure it out

Harry Bloom managed to do away with the dial here on his Model H (his photos show up fine for me)

ON EDIT! Dial stays on, gear is thin

It appears that with the conventional lead attachment for the model k, the drive gear is indeed mounted directly to the input shaft of the dividing head....The conventional lead attachment itself serves as the banjo.... I have not removed the dial from either my H or K in a long time so I don't remember exactly how they come off.. Cheers; Ramsay 1:)
