Hi all:
I'm new to this forum, and I'm awfully glad I found it!!!
I've just bought a vintage 1947 Monarch 10EE that needs a bed regrind.
Have any of you taken the headstock off a similar machine?
I know there are 2 straps that clamp the headstock casting to the ways.
The bolts are accessed from underneath.
There are also 2 additional capscrews accessible from the top, that are tapped into the ways.
The rear strap is the one I can't figure out how to get to!
I've tried to get the idler gearbox off the machine, but I cannot seem to remove it.
I can get it loose and wiggling around, but no way on God's green earth, can I pull it free.
I think the idler gear that transmits into the main gearbox is the culprit, but I'm not sure, and I can't get it out anyway!!
Please help if you can!!!
Thanks in advance
Marcus
