Hey everyone newbie here just picked up a Logan 815 serial # 75305 so I’m thinking 1961and I’m going to restore it the ways seem good no rust at least as I took it apart I noticed a few things 1-the rear bearing of the head stock seems to not be set right it’s possible that previous owner did belt conversion to v belt and didn’t set the Bearing properly not sure although it didn’t seem to be a problem I’ll post a picture with arrows showing what I mean 2-on the main gears of the head stock they slide about a 1/4” back and forth not sure if that is normal I will post pics of that 3-I noticed the clutch needed to be held for it engage if I took my hand off lever carriage wouldn’t move so not sure about that either 4-the reverse plunger lever must have broke and they welded it back but they did almost as bad a job welding that as they did when they tried to repaint it smh any advice on the resto would be greatly appreciated as I am kinda new to this I have restored some vintage tools of my grandfather but never a lathe thanks in advance
