Logan 2557 variable speed hard to turn

Yes on both those comments. I did find some videos showing machines in operation and that fork has got to be hand free. So I am working on that, it may require a torch which is something I do not own yet. But my neighbor has one.
 
OK. Good luck!
 
Problem solved I believe. The answer ...electrolysis. I put the whole fork assembly in my electrolysis bin for 24 hours, then worked with it with some PB blaster and the assembly now moves easily and smoothly. I also think I have figured out how you calibrate it. But that won't be proven until I have everything back together and running again. Thanks all for your input ...and if anyone has questions on the Reeves variable speed on the Logan Lathes ask away .....
