Jet 1024 Power Feed Worm Wheel Gear

[Mitch Alsup]

Question, My gear does not appear to use a keyway, but two pins. Is it safe to assume these need to be drilled to remove?

Probably a gear puller is required.

Either the puller or drill the pins out and then make or get new ones to go in the new one. I have a 1014PY and it has two diff shafts.
One if someone tried to engage the half nuts and the the gear at the same time it will chew up the gear or the half nuts.
DO not know if there is a lock out on it or not.

You may be on to something...
I also have a broken lock out type of mechanism that, i believe, is meant to prevent that from happening. The fracture occurred in the weak area adjacent to the set screw. Considering the size of the engagement lever, the piece appears significantly under designed. I am having trouble finding a replacement, but this looks easy to make.

I thought the excessive gear wear was odd, the remainder of the lathe does not show significant use. Thanks for the insight
