I got this Clausing 5904 recently. Been working out the bugs. The carriage longitudinal power feed and cross feed do not work. The half nut will drive the carriage. The lead screw works forward and reverse. The longitudinal and cross feed do not work under power. The hand wheels work fine. I took the carriage off the lathe and did not see anything broken. In the second picture, I can put a ratchet on the nut, then put the cross feed or longitudinal feed in gear, I can then move the worm gear with my finger and both feeds will work. It seems the for some reason the lead screw is not driving the mechanism. The cross-feed gears are a little stiff but I can move them with my fingers.
