I have a slotting head that has been sitting on the shelf frozen for longer than I care to remember. It is time to rebuild and put to use.
To that end I began disassembly last night and have reached a point where I could use some help from the community. I searched, both through Google and on the Forum directly, to see what had been written about these heads in the past and I could not find the answer to my questions.
First is, how do you remove the connecting rod from the slide? As Seen in the photo below there is no obvious grub screw or other means of locking the pin that holds the connecting rod to the slide
If you can remove this pin then the slide can be removed from the end. If the pin doesn't come out then it seems you would have to pull the gib allowing the slide to be pulled straight out. There are 2 pins keeping the gib from sliding out the end. I assume I would have to drill and tap the pins to pull with a slide hammer and then I could slide the brass gib out the end.
I would appreciate any ideas from those who have worked on one of these before
