I just purchased a 700 ser# 2987. The only deficit is a missing tooth on a 30 tooth Reverser assembly Idler Gear and and a broken Compound swivel base. My question is:
1) does the "engagement lever "lock in" when pulled forward?
2) when using the reverser my assumption is that one would disengage the drive (lever question above) and wait for the Chuck to come to a stop. Is that correct?
Right now I have is disassembled and cleaned and lubricated. The Ways are in excellent shape, no dings or Rust. The V-belt had been replace with a 1/2" x 41 which I believe is too long. Thank you for your time
