Hi Guys,
I have a model C that i am getting back to operational. When i engage the gear train to use the power feed i have issues with the change gears coming loose. Specifically the nut that holds the gears on spins with the gear and comes off of the threaded shaft.
Should the bronze bushing stick out past the bore of the change gear slightly so that the nuts tighten on the bushing capturing the gear, OR should the nut be tightened up against the gear.
In my case the bushings are not long enough to stick past the gear and the nut tightens on the gear, hence it loosens when the gear starts spinning with the lathe.
Is there a drawing for those bushings ? The lathe i got was a hodge podge of parts thrown together I am trying to sort out.
