If no one comes up with an answer it would be worth emailing the photos to Krauss and Naimer (look up for your country) it looks like one of their older pattern switches and quite possibly the disconnected wire is an internal one as supplied.

Hope none of the following is teaching Granny how to suck eggs and sorry if it is!

Was the spindle running ok before you changed the belts?

If it was then have you reassembled the shaft parts and set things up according to the manual?

May be a silly question: but did you make sure the bearing caps were put back as they were originally and that none of of the bearing shims were lost or misplaced during the belt change?

Hope you realise that the belts normally should slip until the relevant lever is pushed down, if the shaft is that tight then I would not be attempting to run the lathe until it is sorted out.

Maybe somebody can come in on here with more experience of these matters, mine is very limited.

Well I drive a German 4x4 not that it is anybody else’s business cos I pay my dues and do not have attitudes to makes or generalisation about other road users.

I stopped watching reality TV because I rarely saw anything to keep me interested.

However: the sun is shining a Garden Warbler was at our bird bath this morning and the Greenfinch pair have appeared for the first time this year now I have a flower bed to dig over in this lovely afternoon sun.

life is for living so stop moaning and live it as best you can, it’s not a rehearsal you know.

Well done Alan that is a nice bit of design and really good professional looking finished product.

I have owned my Tri Leva for many years and have never seen a special tool for these although somebody else may know better.

My adjusters rotate using simple finger pressure after the roller arm has been pushed inward to release the slotted end of the adjusting screw from engagement with it, the slot must be returned to vertical alignment again after any adjustment and check it is properly engaged. I find this operation a bit tricky to do and difficult to explain so hope it makes some sense.

A manual helps greatly do you have one?

Your screws look a bit chewed up so maybe somebody tried turning them with pliers or something without disengaging the slotted end.

Here are photos of the screw and slotted end, hope that it helps explain things.

Of course we are being watched, the difference is between being watched and deliberately drawing the watchers attention to yourself.

We are watched on CCTV in many areas of life and not much notice is taken of us but if you start doing something that attracts the watchers attention then they will take an interest in you instead of not taking much notice.

Yes likewise..

My Grandfather believed in keeping your head down and hope that ‘Officialdom’ would not notice you!

My own experience over the decades suggests that he had the right idea!

Do not let those magnets get together because separating them needs a lot of force. Don’t ask!

Well I got a bit further with this today, pleased to say that there is vey little wear.

The shaft was knocked out using a soft (ish) drift slightly smaller than the shaft diameter with a central pimple to locate in the shaft end recess.

obviously plenty of support is needed under the casing I used a piece of old very hard wood with a suitably sized hole in it to allow the big end to go through.

A press of some sort might have been safer but I do not have ready acces to one.

have to say that the experience was rather nerve wracking knowing the the chance of getting a replacement housing would be pretty slim.

I have put up a photo of the shaft this shows the flats that the grub screws seat onto.

As the old saying goes all is entirely at your own risk and I am not to be blamed if it goes wrong!!!

I am less far into the process than yourself but looking at the assembly there is also a grub screw on the first locking collar/spacer, I think there may also be a flat on the shaft where that screw tightens on it (not 100% sure yet).

the large end on your Tri Lever shaft does look like it has suffered a bit.

Couple of photos here, one showing the grub screw in the collar plus one of the shaft end in fairly good condition.

Sorry about the odd pictures and text order!

Return now gives a single line spacing in IOS12 that’s a great improvement,  it always used to give double line spacing.

Now it has touched down the lander will probably soon start transmitting images.

I wondered who had won that, pretty good price too I reckon.

Nice work there Limpet, I was wondering how to lighten mine prior to moving it, now I know😉.

What are the bedways looking like wear wise after de-rusting?

Expect you will find the odd homeless washer after re-assembly anyway😉

I think you will find Insurance companies do not take kindly to being misled either, honesty is best when dealing with insurance otherwise you could actually be uninsured.

I remember this company was suggested by somebody else in a recent thread on here.

Try here.

Whilst not wanting to rain on anyone’s parade, I will say that probably you need to discuss the matter of using a cellar for this with your Insurance Company first.
