I am posting some details on my machine:
#1cutter arbor gearbox
#2 feed return selector-- allows carriage to rapid travel all the way to the feed gearbox.
#3 index latch; when the pawl is withdrawn, it disengages the indexing motion.
#5 Index selector, when pulled out and rotated to different positions, it selects 1, 2, or 4 turns of the change gear input shaft.
# 6 Same as #2, but shows trip dog and striker.
#7 latch on feed knob; when swung into position over the feed knob rod, it disengages the feed, it being necessary to lever the mechanism manually to accomplish the task; more on this later.
#8 shows the latch swung into position to disengage the feed; this can also be done by pushing/pulling the feed speed selector knob on the left side of the machine to an in between position.
#9 shows the arbor support bracket; mine has just the one bolt to secure it, yours has 4 bolts in addition to the central bolt.
#10 Shows the index fine adjustment so that a gear may be perhaps recut after securing to the arbor, then lining up the tooth space with the cutter, also there is a bolt on the bottom, which when loosened allows the worm to be swung out of engagement with the worm gear.
