Bridgeport Series 1 Power Quill not working
Ok I watched numerous videos AND i cannot get the little ball out of the wheel that spins when you engage it. So I cannot remove that piece with the lever on it. With the clutch piece removed the lever still will not move at all, even with light tapping on it with a plastic hammer- TTMotorsports

New to me Vintage Clausing Colchester Lathe Questions
Ok I cannot see anything on the ways or anything on this thing that could lock it down besides the 3 allen set screws which i loosened but didn't change anything, still locked up tight.
