It was not disconnected before removing the saddle.
I posted on this thread my repair for a similar problem.

You have a graduated dial on the apron feed. Those are beyond rare. This is only the second one that I recall seeing here. What's the serial number and build date for the machine?

I might have a spare one; I'll check tomorrow.

Yes it does feed the saddle and will need to be replaced. I did the same operation on my lathe somewhere around here.
New to me Monarch 10EE just arrived!
Hi Cal,
Here is my serial number:
Chatting with Monarch they told me it was originally purchased by the British Purchasing Authority in 1941
It definitely shows it's age and it seems the saddle was fitted with new bearing surfaces. Notice the lack of oil groove.
That would be most appreciated. Thanks!

A less classy version came on my CW16 X 102 - sort of a twenty pound "travel dial" that bolts to right end of apron (after you take off the thread dial
)

There's a fellow flogging a bunch of 10EE parts on eBay, you might check with them.
Failing that repair should be pretty easy - look to see if the part's shaft was pressed into the square bit or if the whole puppy was turned from solid. If from solid it's just machining, if pressed it's pretty simple to pull it and press a new shaft in. If you want to minimize time you could turn off the bad bit and stick on new.
So somewhere from 1/2 an hour to a few hours depending on approach.
