Details:
I have a metric Myford 254 Plus lathe. I'm having difficulty with the gearbox and the selection of feeds. Some of which will not select and some do. Those that do are A 1,2, B 1,2 and C 3,4,5 the others will not engage when using the selector knobs. I have tried the usual spinning of the chuck while the drive is engaged and endless fiddling with the selector knobs but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried Myford but it's not their principal area of expertise having not had the need to strip a machine down. They do have gearbox spares though.
Getting the gearbox off the lathe and dismantling it looks a challenge. Quite apart from diagnosing why it doesn't select the feeds, unless it's clearly damaged.
Does anyone have any ideas of why it may not be working or how to remove and dismantle the gearbox? You may have the expertise or indeed any gearbox spares or a gearbox under the bench!
I do have a manual so I can see the general arrangement.
All ideas welcome.
Thank you.
Michael.
