Help with ID and dismantling lathe

[mark10409]

Dave, Thank you. So i would be able to get at them inside the cabinet or underneath the headstock between the bed rails?

This is the outboard end of the headstock showing the stud.



The nut is below. It will be much easier to see with the banjo removed. You will need to remove the banjo to get a wrench on the nut.



The inboard end of the headstock has a cover with two small screws. Remove this cover then you will see the stud and nut. Only a partial turn of the wrench. If I recall I could not get a rachet under the nut. I had to use a wrench.

Thank you! I would have never found this without your help.

Thanks

Happy to help. If you do not have one of the lights which is in a headband, I recommend getting one. These can get the light where you are working without needing extra hands.

Good morning,
Well I have made some progress getting the lathe out of the basement. Only the cabinet is left. Having a little trouble getting it apart into smaller parts I can lift. I have posted some pics of the cabinet, any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks, Mark

Good progress.

You will need to remove the motor pulley so you can get the shaft which pivots the entire assembly. Take a look at Greg Halligans video re-assembling his countershaft in the base so you can see how the shaft is removed.
