Hey all. I have a Southbend 9A lathe and I'm super new to the game so my apologies for the dumb questions. Question 1, what is the best way to keep the spindle from spinning in order to take off the chuck. I have a feeling this chuck has been on for quite some time so its probably on there pretty good. I don't want to lock it in with the back gears and break a tooth or something. Onto question number 2. The back gear engagement lever is super tight, it moves and you can engage and disengage the gears but it shouldn't be as tight as it is. Is there a way to adjust this? Thank you in advance.
