Greetings All,
I am still plugging along with my 1944 Logan 200-1 overhaul. The lathe is back together except for the head stock. I need to replace the bearings (more on this later). I have removed the spindle and can't seem to remove the take up nut that secures the main (front) bearing.
I have the correct size spanner and have heated the nut with a paint stripping gun and soaked with Marvel Mystery Oil then clamped it in an aluminum jawed vise and tapped (pretty hard) on the spanner with a hammer.
By any chance are these left hand threads?
Not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance!
Steve
