Hi Forum, I have a puzzle for you. I removed the belt tensioning crank from my South Bend 10L lathe for repairs. Needless to say, It took a bit of effort to punch the taper pin out.
I repaired the crank and reinstalled the tensioning mechanism. Now the taper pin holes in the Handle and the tension mechanism don't line up.
The crank was broken a while back in transport. I pressed out the "knob", bored and tapped holes for 1/4-20 cap screws and used some JB Weld in the joint.Everything is solid.
I thought the handle may have been reversed but, installed backwards, the holes in shaft and crank still don't line up.
...I restored a Heavy 10 a while back so this is my second "rodeo". ;-)
I am totally flummoxed. Any suggestions what might have happened? What should I do now? I'm thinking redrill, ream and install a larger pin?
