If the lead screw reverse handle is in the neutral position the gear box is not engaged. Could be as simple as this. Did they move the lead screw reverse handle?
I have had them where the gear change dial on the front came disengaged fro the tiny gear in the back. It was a pretty simple...
Yep. Simply unscrew it. Standard right hand thread. Just had one apart on a lathe I have been touching up and replaced the thrust bearing a couple weeks ago.
I too may be looking for some Series 61 13 " parts. As I just bought another one at auction. Have yet to drag it home. The machine I parted out was a bigger lathe and those parts won't work on the little 13" lathe. So let me know anyone has series 61 13" parts.

I responded to your other post with the same question. But yes I have some parts. Whether they are the right ones or not depends on what size lathe you have. Just let me know.
Mike
I parted out a series 61 a while back and still have some parts laying around. I may have some of the parts you are looking for. It depends on what exact size your lathe is. The parts I have are off a 16" catalog size lathe with I believe a 21 or 22" swing.

I am in need of what I think is call the hub and back plate for the clutch assembly on a 13" series 60/61 lathe. If it helps I have 16" series 60/61 parts to trade but will certainly pay cash also.
Mike
I may. You are going to have to describe it more precisely for me. Or send me some pictures of what it is you are looking for. I have been parting out a 16" catalog size series 61.

I was able to get a number of the parts together. I have the two bevel gears w/shafts, the worm wheel, worm gear and assembly. There is good news and bad news. The good is that I was able to find most of these parts and the gears appear to be in ok shape. The bad is the drive dog in the worm...
I'm back home. I have been reading some of your posts. Did you get some of the parts you need? Anyway, I can now start to dig in to my parts lathe and get you as much of the parts you need as I can. Can you please restate what you need by priority.
