Very nice! Just checking, do you have the back gear rack pulled out on purpose? I've purchased two 8XX Logans where the rack was installed with the rack set so out is disengaged rather than engaged. Very easy to do. I've walked a couple of members through resetting them, one over the phone. If I'm 100% wrong, sorry just offering some experience. There is a Facebook Logan group & a Groups.io moderated by Scott Logan, a really nice guy, grandson of the founder. Suggest you ask in the groups.io forum, IMHO there are more long term owners there from the Yahoo group days who could have one.

Not familiar with any lathe :p just a weekend hack,That’s how I got it. I was wondering why it would fall off when rotated. So I rotated the cam, now it rotates the correct direction. It’s fully engaged at tdc with the lock engaged. That seems correct to me ? Thanks for the heads up IMG_4344.gif

I started rebuilding a Singer 29-4 "boot patcher" picked this up for my wife to sew heaver projects on. Got the stand disassembled and ready to be planted and painted. The machine itself needs a good clean and check. I'll probably take it most of the way down to check for damage it is over 100 years old after all.

I'd love to find one of those but they don't show up that often around here. At least not for what I would want to pay -- I think the asking price for last one I saw was around $1100.... :frown:

Some people struggle with getting the rack set correctly with the cam. Seeing the back gear handle pulled out I just thought I would ask. You know about disengaging the bull gear, the big one on the right when using the back gear? The angled cut-out in the headstock is so it can be reached. Just curious, how much trouble did you have re-lubricating the headstock bearings?

Welp. I guess that’s another issue. I was just looking how the spindle gets oiled. This is the way I got it. It appears to have new seals and obviously belts so somebody was just there. Are these like the SB’s just oil or grease ?

I did fill the oil plug in the pulley
 
I see that they’re sealed bearings. I spend the 2mins and zip the spindle out to check them.
