Have look at eBay for the handle. The stud is available from Logan, though it's not cheap!
I bought the parts manual document from logan as I couldn't find it elsewhere, they got me good for that, I don't like being gouged so they will be the last option....Have look at eBay for the handle. The stud is available from Logan, though it's not cheap!
its been brazed in and ground up apparently would be next to impossible to get it mounted in a vice to drill out and have a straight hole. for some reason it was made by logan to be 2 separate pieces a handle and a stud.You might be able to save the handle, cut off the threaded part and drill and tap it the size you need for the clamp piece. Use either all thread or a long enough threaded bolt and loctite or pin it in the handle . You can do it.

Yes, parts from Logan can be expensive. I recently went through my Logan and bought a number of parts from them. But, supplying parts
for 75 year old machine tools in very small quantities probably doesn't result in huge profits. If you really need something and eBay
doesn't have it, at least they're available, and Scott Logan also provides quite a bit of free advice as well. At a time when some manufacturers
stop supplying parts after 10 years, or don't offer repair parts at all, the fact that they still exist at all is great.
some of the prices on ebay for this stuff should be a crime as well, but I guess when you have the rare pieces that people want u can get away with that... seems people on ebay are buying whole lathes and dissecting them for parts and selling part by part? what a waste
maybe we just don't know what is wrong...I see complete machines sold in pieces on ebay and am not seeing a bad piece on it... and I know its done with everything even refrigerators to make parts available....just seems sad to divide up this old iron.As old as some of these machines are, it often isn't economic to repair them or put them back into service. When that's the case, I think it makes
sense to part them out. I would hate to see a useful or running machine parted out.
