Myford Super 7 Gearbox – Help Required

[Steve Talbot 1Participant @stevetalbot1]

I have just removed the top cover from a newly acquired Myford Super 7 to enable a thorough inspection and clean out of the gearbox. Unfortunately having removed the cover I moved the upper lever ( which moves the quadrant plate) a little too far, and, you have guessed it, the locating pin A2521 & D5/1922 launched into space never to be seen again. These parts provide the A,B & C locating detent points for the upper lever.

 

It seems that parts are unlikely to be available from RDG/Myford so what I need to know is what is locating pin A2521 like. Is it in fact a ball bearing or a specially shaped pin and is the spring

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Steve T

Hi Steve

 

Examining my Quick Change gearbox manual (with a magnifying glass !!) the drawing references are 199 – 13529 Spring and 198 – A2521 Locating pin. It certainly appears to be cylindrical rather than spherical and may? have a rounded end. I do own a Myford but I really don’t want to take off the top of the gearbox to check I’m afraid!

I see from a recent thread though that a couple of ex Myford guys are offering service of Myford lathes – see Myford Lathe Service thread on this site. Why not give a call – they may be prepared to help.

 

Good luck!

 

Regards
