I bought a 1942 EE10 knowing that the spindle clutch fork in the headstock was broken. I've been getting my feet wet rebuilding this lathe by first doing the carriage and apron. Those are done and I can't put it off any longer. Time to get inside the headstock!
I think the entire headstock has to come off in order to get to that clutch fork. Or can I get to it by only (ha-ha!) removing the spindle? The clutch fork is part #61 in the headstock parts drawing. I honestly don't how it moves. It connects to something, presumably part #57, the "spindle clutch fork rack", but I can't see any of those bits with the spindle in the way.
I should add that I got a good condition used clutch fork from Monarch for $150.
If the headstock does have to come off, any idea on where to start?
By the way, I searched this form for "headstock" and got 60 PAGES of thread reference, and looked through 40 of them before my eyes glazed over and I decided just to ask this question directly.
Thanks in advance,
Carl D.
