I'm restoring my vintage circa 1942 Logan 10 inch lathe (Monkey Wards). I completely disassembled it, cleaned up the rust and gunk and it's back together; functions perfectly and and runs very true. However, I have found that, when the half nut is engaged, it grabs the lead screw and pulls it slightly outward toward the interior face of the apron. The lead screw flexes slightly under the load but that's all. When the half nut releases from the lead screw everything returns to normal. In installed a temporary spacer under the half nut assembly which eliminated the previously described symptoms but the half nut control lever is now difficult to move in and out of register.
Anyone have any ideas ??????????????
