Thank you so much guys! Great info. I'll do a tooth gear count tonight. Any other important measurements that might be needed?

JScott,
I forgot most important (Silly Me) Take off the front stop on the table stop mechanism, , Wind the table back till you can see the pinion which drives it, This will mean pushing table slightly beyond the little internal pinion, Make sure the table rear end is supported underneath, In case it falls off machine A block of wood or similar under it Temporary
Next using callipers or vernier measure diameter of pinion, over gear teeth & do a tooth count also, Oil up and carefully pull table forward turning gear to carefully re-engage with the rack teeth, These measurements are most important
Put table stop back on.
Jscott No you are not as clear as mud, I can follow your data, to help me help you could you try this to check definitively the gear & rack under the table, Firstly with the table fairly well back, Run a broad chalk line along the top of the table (About 1" broad, Wind the table forward slightly by hand to get rid of any slack motionGear under the Rack is 2.498 inches and has 17 tooth count.
The outside gear on the same connection is a 58 tooth gear.
48 tooth gear with at smaller 28 tooth gear.
12 tooth gear on the shaft (which connects to the 1/4th gears on the other side that moves the tool)
The 58 tooth gear uses the 28 tooth gear to spin the 48 tooth gear which spins the shaft gear which is 12 tooth shaft gear.
Clear as mud right?
