It looks someone has repaired the spindle clutch linkage sometime in the past. There is lost motion but not on any of the shafts so I made some eccentric studs so the shift levers will position the clutch where it needs to be. Might be cheating, but it will work.View attachment 250407
That piston should pump unless it is something like 1/8" smaller than bore.

The Bijur on the apron isn't pumping oil. I replaced the filter, and confirmed the check ball is working. The plunger and bore must be worn thus no suction. I presume it needs to create neg pressure to overcome the spring on the check valve. Has anyone fixed one of these? Ream the bore and make an over sized plunger?View attachment 250579
A little butterfly (Monarch) landed in my shop today. Borrowed a drop deck trailer and rolled it on pipes. Need to clean it and get to know it. I noticed some "clunking" when set to low spindle speeds turning the chuck by hand. May have some issues. I hope not.
