So I finally got my South Bend 10L together, now I've started getting the Excello 602 apart. The shop that had this before me "refinished" it by, from the looks of it, pouring a bucket of paint on top of it and just letting run down and then brushing it a little.
My machine is one of the first models that seems like no one else on the planet has (I've only found pictures of two others out of all my searching) so the manuals available don't quite match up. Currently, I've got the head off and have the top and midsection of the head apart as well. Where I'm stuck at is removing these two plates from the sides of the head so that I can remove the yoke that the head pivots on. From what I've seen in pictures of newer model 602's, they added two extra holes in the covers with that are threaded that look as if you screw in some bolts and that allows you to pull them off. Alas, mine do not have these holes.
Anyone who's taken these apart before have any suggestions?
(It's this circular plate that the arrow is pointing to. Yes, I've removed the screws already)
