On the 9" Models (perhaps 10's as well), there are two adjustment screws for the back gear shaft.
These are located behind and under the backgear shaft on both sides of the casting.
As per the ILION renovation book (page 90), one is for gear clearance, the other for tension adjustment.
As per the book, and my memory, I recall a small spring and a brass shoe used under the slotted screw
with jam nut on the gear clearance adjuster. However, on the square head screw for tension, I find there
is nothing else in the cavity but the screw itself that rubs against the shaft. The book does not mention
a spring or shoe, but I'm wondering if this is correct...or am I missing these pieces in the tension adjuster?
Is the machine screw all there is?
If anyone could take a quick check on their machine of the tension adj, I would appreciate it.
The photos below are from the ILION book "A Guide to Renovating the SB Lathe; 9" Model A,B,&C Plus
Model 10K (Horizontal Drive)" By ILION Industrial Services, LLC.
I used without permission only because photographing these myself was so very difficult.
Thank you in advance.
