Hello,
I have a 9" south bend model A lathe. The lathe has been hardly used as in great condition. Although for some reason the lever to engage the cross slide power feed will not engage. The lever is locked in the the center position.
The half nut engages as the longitudinal power feed works fine.
Any suggestions what may be causing the lever to remain in the one position? The lever is not jammed and moves slightly, just will not engage in other positions.
Some insight might help before removing the apron to look inside.
