Yeah I got a 50s 20" standard lodge and Shipley at work. I got it back going as it had sat around for years to use as my personal machine. When I first started using it the thread stop worked great but quit after a while. So I did some research and thought I had enough info to press the handle apart and fix it. I tried pressing it apart in a hand press and it won't budge to afraid to put it in a hydraulic press. Can anyone please help me verify how to get it apart? I just don't wanna tear it up as I know replacement parts are hard to come by. I can upload pictures if needed. Thanks in advance.
