Thanks Robert.
I bought the printed manual as well as a download of it. Alas, my laptop died last December and the new one does not have the file. Or, I haven't found it yet...
God bless.

Hi, Jon.
Thanks for posting the PDF of the drive assembly. I saved it on my computer with the rest of my lathe stuff.
Did Logan comment on whether they had any of the drive parts you need?

Logan, like Clausing, it to be commended for continuing to offer some hardware support for their old machines. The reason that I put the file in DOWNLOADS is the same reason that we encourage members to put photos into an album in PHOTOS first and then link to them in a post. If someone later discovers a need for a parts list, unless they remember enough about the tread where they saw it to search for the thread, there is about zero chance that they will find it again. Embedded files in posts or threads are not searchable for.
By the same token, linking to files or photos from a thread is undesirable. Availability is subject to being lost because the originator lost interest and closed their account, or because the storage site went belly up, or many other reasons..

Robert, I'm a blockhead about up and down loads. I've found my pdf manual and parts list, so if I understand, I can put them into the download page myself? It doesn't need to be done by a moderator or special rating? Thanks and God bless.

Jon,
Short answer is 'yes'. As currently set, if you have read and download access into DOWNLOADS, you also have upload access. I ask is that you first read the single-post thread H-M Downloads in the sticky area at the top of this and a few other Fora. And that you put any files that you upload into the appropriate category. DOWNLOADS was re-named from the Xenforo RESOURCES module. It has some Search capabilities but absolutely no Sort options. And there is no setting option that makes file names appear only when you are in the appropriate sub-category. The list of files that you see when you first go into DOWNLOADS is only the first page of the list of all files on the system, in reverse order (newest at the top) of the order in which they were uploaded. If you click on the master category where it says in red Click Here, a short list appears. About half-way down that list is Machine Manuals. Click on that and another list, mostly of badge or manufacturer's names, appears below it which down a ways includes Logan & Wards. Click on that and you see ...Manuals... and ...Catalogs... As a general rule, you can only upload a file to a sub-category at the bottom of the "tree". And in most cases, any category with more than about 50 files under it has sub-categories. This was done to limit the number of files you have to manually scan through to see or find what you are looking for.
As to whether or not you "should" upload a file, that's another matter entirely. If you bought the hard copy manual and the PDF cost extra (or if you could have bought only the PDF), it may be protected by Copyright. You should check that first. If the PDF was free and you could have gotten it without buying the hard copy (mostly the case with Clausing/Atlas PDF's), there are probably no copyright issues. Anything in between may be a gray area. We certainly do not want to be sued for copyright infringement.

Logan said that those parts were noted as "discontinued" on a 1969 parts list. So on to eBay and Craigslist...
God bless.
