Does anyone by chance have a breakdown diagram of a 50's style 1.5 HP J head?
I am sorry I cannot give a more intelligent description as I am new to these machines. I purchased a 1951 Bridgeport Mill It has the round ram and a 1.5 hp J head. I was told that something was wrong with the quill. To make a long story short The quill and spindle seemed to operated as expected using the pull down bar that is located on the right of the head at first, but now it seems to be pretty messed up. The draw bar has somehow came out.
The draw bar on the right side of the head that operates the machines "Z" axis has come out. There is what looks like a winding that goes around it and the handle and internals will not go back in? I am going tho circle the part in the photo.
Thank you in advance for any information you can give me...
