I have a swedish made Storebro GK185 lathe that has a Norton type gearbox for the lead- and thread-screw. I have power on the change gears all the way into the Norton box, but not out. The leadscrew only turns for 1/4 - 1/2 turns then stops. If i engage the feed and turn the wheel by hand, lathe shut off, i can hear some gears in tside the norton box turning...
Is my next best bet to tear the Norton box looking for possibly stripped gear / cotterpin / keys?
