It’s a lot different from the ones on the website

I’m having trouble putting the bullwheel on it’s a very tight fit. I might have to make a jig to push it in to place, any ideas? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks all I’ve managed to get it apart now, it is keyed. The problem now is getting it all back together😬

That was screwed in the hole in the bull gear

The small gear is keyed to the shaft, the larger gear is connected to the 3 pulleys which move freely on the spindle until they are engaged with the pin on the bull wheel. I made a mistake on my previous comment

The spindle

The two other gears are keyed

I don’t know what this screw is for

I need to fit a new belt. It’s a continuous belt so I need to remove the spindle. I’ve loosened everything on the spindle apart from the bull wheel which I have no idea how to remove

i was referring to the screw in the picture which screws on to the bull gear

I have no idea what the screw is for🤷‍♂️

I’ve decided not to drill it, I just remembered that this screw used to be in it

There is a hole for a grub screw

I don’t know if it has been broken off in the past and some of the screw has been left in the hole?
Is it wise to drill it out and retap it once off just in case or will I risk damaging anything? It’s the only thing I can think of why it’s not coming off

Thanks all, that makes sense. it isn’t threaded there’s a gap just big enough to see where the threads end

the make is LM, I haven’t seen anything that make like it on the internet

I can’t tap tap it out because of the two bearing adjusting nuts

I’ve tried hitting the gear with a hammer and wooden block to try to loosen it but there is no movement at all

The spindle has most likely been out before because the pulleys are grooved

there’s not a big enough gap to pry it

Goodmorning, I have an old lathe and can’t remove the bull gear from the spindle

I think it’s the bull gear is threaded on the spindle.

I want to know the best possible way to remove it.

I can put a pair of grips on the spindle but I don’t want to bend or create burs I’ve tried to remove it this way already but it, it’s on very tight

Thanks all

what would be the best way to get the bull wheel off? It looks like it’s threaded. I don’t want to damage the teeth or the spindle

Does anyone know what the slots on the gear are for? Also any ideas of a way to remove the smaller gear off the spindle there is only a 4mm gap between the large gear and the small gear

If I get some time today I'll take a better picture

Hi all,

thanks for the replies.

yes it has slotted ring nuts one which screws in to a bronze bearing sleeve furthest from the chuck and two closer to the chuck.I will get some better pictures tomorrow. I'm unable to remove the gear that is for the change wheels it is too close to the back gear to put anything in to prise it and I cant fit a removal tool in I think I have to remove that gear and the rest should come off of the spindle.

It's a similar set up to the picture below
