101.21400 tailstock

[sgriggs]

If anyone has a Craftsman 101.21400 would you please tell me if the lock and sleeve that lock the ram are the same size? Mine was missing the the machine screw. The manual says it a 1/4-20 1-1/2 but the one I bought is too short yet it measures 1-1/2. This leads me to believe that I either have 2 sleeves or 2 locks as both of mine appear to be identical. Thanks for your help.

The one that goes from the bottom has a square recses for a squair head bolt the one that goes in from the top is flat on top. Hex head bolt won't work right. This is the bottom one.

Thank you for the picture. I must have 2 of the top pieces with my tail stock. My two are identical and neither has a sqare slot in it like yours.

The new ones from clausing are now made out of steel and look like this. I am going to make a set for my lathe.
