Thread: Harrison L5 new to me

03/05/2017 14:02:29

I know this is an old thread, but can anybody help! I am stripping my Harrison L5, 3speed. I am trying to remove the gearbox and the two power feed rods, I have supported the apron, removed all the bolts on the gearbox. removed and moved the rear mounting block away from the bed. the gearbox is solid on the bed/headstock. At this stage I don't want to get the big hammer out. I understand it is located on dowels, but are there any hidden bolt lower down in the gearbox?

Also how do the feed rods come off the box. The user/parts book doesn't show bolts, nor does it give any explanation.

There seems to be a bit of damage at the end of one of the rods, It looks like a bit of a lashup, I will sort this as soon as its all stripped down.

I have an other L5, so old its on legs, with a rod working the clutch. but I fell in love with it, so I got another.
