Why won't this darn thing come apart???? What am I missing in disassembly? Removed all the gib screws and gib! Seemed to me that it ought to just unscrew off! On my Grizzly lathe all needs to be done is keep turning adjustment handle and it comes right off. "No one said I had to be smart, just willing!" Hope that I can get the saddle and compound-slide apart, degreased and painted tomorrow. "But wouldn't you just know that it's 60% chance of rain and I have to work on it outdoors."
I also re-assembled the motor after painting it yesterday. Looks and runs good.
Spent all day removing assemblies from the lathe so I would be able to get the lathe out of my truck. Did a lot of cleaning and degreasing to ready parts for painting. Hopefully tomorrow I'll degrease and paint the lathe bed.
UPDATE: Just saw a YouBoob video and it shows a spanner nut on the end. To me I thought it was a part of the casting. I'll give it another try tomorrow. (It's raining! Drat!)
