Guys thanks to Adam 3999 pointing out that the pin I ask questions about replacing it with a steel dowel letting me know that its a shear pin and that I have a MK 1.5 lathe.But the one that was in it is or looks like it is brass or bronze very loose which will allow it to move around some and rub against the new oil seal that I just replace.What I would like to know is information on the correct pin or what should be use as a sacrificial pin so that I can find a replacement?Thanks for all the help----kroll
