Just picked up a clausing 5914. I think I have some problems on the vari speed drive off the motor.
Does the hydraulic cylinder rod and bearing usually have some slop to it? The sheave bushing is junk, I've been told the main shaft looks OK though?
What oil does this system take?
Does the top of the headstock come off fairly easy? I wanted to remove it and clean up the gears a little as its a bit stiff to put in and out of back Gears.
Thanks
