This is attempt #3 for this.
I purchased a rusty basket case Logan 820 lathe.
All there and cleaning up nicely.
I have come across a part identified as a "Stop Bracket."
It is a slotted bracket with a pin at one end at a right angle to the slotted piece.
It attaches to the headstock on the left side with the pin in the slot of the banjo.
I am unsure as to the proper installation of this part.
When bolted flush against the headstodk housing, the pin does not completely pass thru the slot in the banjo.
Should there be a spacer or jam nut between the bracket and the headstoch housing?
Should thes part be allowed to swivel?
What is its function?
I have tried to attach links to pics showing the part in the change gear assy, but one thread shows as invalid, the other never posted.
There are 2 of these stop brackets on ebay for reference.....
