The lathe is a 1957 13 X 36 Engine lathe. I am trying to remove the carrage so as to inspect the apron. I have removed the 4 allen bolts holding the apron to the carrage, the rear gib, and the locking gib. The carrage is still firmly fixed to the bed; it appears to be free of the apron.
The parts list shows a front gib. Does anyone have experience locating and removing this gib?
(This only place I can speculate it could be is nearly imposible to get to without removing the lead screw and then the apron. That would multiply the job by an order of magnitude.)
Thanks in advance, Dan
