More questions on my 1937 assembly.
How do I install the Shifter Rack so that it positions the Back Gear in the correct position?
There is a dimple on the outer end of the shaft that I am sure has something to do with install (like a timing mark) but I don't know where to place it. Should I be setting the Shifter Rack so that when pulled out in Back Gear position the gear goes to it's highest position?
I read the post on adjusting the shaft for back gear, But there is no mention of initial setting, I'd like to get it set correct if possible.
Should there be end play on the gear when the Eccentric shaft is locked into place with the set screws?
I also posted on the Yahoo group, but I am sure some here have gone through this so thought I'd ask here also. I'm at a standstill until I figure this out. Don't want to set the headstock to the lathebed until I am sure the eccentric bushings are set properly. Can't get to the set screws after that.
