18 forum posts 5 photos	Have just acquired a myford super 7 & in box there was the change gear bush, change gear stud, spacer with cut out for woodruff key etc. Does anyone know which is the correct order in which these are set on the gear stud. I have att' a pic showing the bits I have. Does the spacer with cut out go at the end of the train before the lock nut/washer or between the bush & the sleeve? Thanks in anticipation DW.

Thanks for the prompt, one lives and learns - although it doesn't seem to be terribly important. Cheers, Rod edit - too slow again Edited By Roderick Jenkins on 09/06/2014 20:26:22

750 forum posts	This is very interesting as it is a Super 7-only spacer. The ML7 which uses the same gears and studs doesn't benefit from the spacer - the edges of the gears do occassionally rub together. So, Rod's observation that it isn't terribly important seems fairly accurate. Jon
