I'm not home right now, but of that 2 gear stack (120 & 127) how to you pick which is engaged or how do you disengage one??

Yeah....that would make sense to what I'm seeing. Crazy how that was setup...have no idea if it came like that, never cut threads yet, i assumed it was set to power feed setup....I literally have a few hours on it. this has been quite the learning weekend!Looking closely at the picture I think RJ is correct- 12.7 tpi-- just slightly coarser than 13
OK, Sean, In the first photo the spacer is behind the gear. The gear has to be pulled off and then the spacer can be removed. The gear is then put back on the shaft followed by the the spacer, the washer, and the cap screw. The gear will then engage the 127 tooth gear. In the third photo, the bushing is is broken and will need to be replaced. It is P/N P0602715. The 127 tooth gear also appears to be backwards. The boss should face the tailstock Also, you need a second gear, normally the 120 tooth gear, to keep the 127 tooth gear in place. I have taken some pictures of my lathe and will send them later. Mine was actually set up to cut 12TPI.One thing leads to another....
I haven't played with this gearing setup...just the 2 small ones (40 & 36) looks like the keyway is broken...weird how the 127 tooth is connected to gears above and the 120 tooth is connected to transmission....what spacer? If I wanted to move small lower gear over to engage....it doesn't appear to move more in unless that is a spacer on that lowest shaft? Your saying for TPI I need to take out 127 tooth? As you can see, there will be gear engaging issues.
