What is this piece?

Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:

My Seneca Falls lathe had a reverser that looked like that from the outside but I never took it apart. The shift handle doesn't seem to be there but it might fit in the casting that is second from the right on the bottom row. I have a picture but I don't know how to include it here.

Whatever it is, it is sure nice and clean! 8^)

I have no idea what it is but I don't think it is a Logan product, at least nothing that shows up in any of the old catalogs.

Thanks for the replies! At least I know it's not critical to the lathe while I continue to scratch my head.

In my case, it was nice to have a way to reverse the spindle direction. My lathe had no threading dial. It did not appear to be a Seneca Falls part. The motor belt ran to it and then power went from the reverser pulley to the spindle pulley.

A picture, finally.
