I have a Logan lathe, model 200, and I'm having trouble removing the head stock spindle. I've had it out once before to install a serpentine belt, but this time it won't come out.
I removed everything I was supposed to remove from the left-hand end of the spindle. I tried tapping it toward the tail stock end, and it moved slightly and then stopped. It moved out about 1/4", and then it stopped and felt like I had hit something solid. It won't move any more. I'm afraid to tap any harder for fear of damaging the bearing.I tried using a piece of threaded rod and some blocks of wood to try to pull it out, but that didn't work either. It won't move!
I'm having to remove the spindle because the lathe won't go in to back gear. If I engage the back-gear , the spindle just stops and the belt slips. Also, I can't dis-engage the bull gear from the cone pulley. If I pull the pin out, the bull gear won't rotate by itself but remains engaged with the cone pulley.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do, or what I'm doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
