Hi guys,
Got said machine going last fall and when running the spindle in high gear there is a horrible vibration and rattle. Ive read up and it seems to be an issue with the vari speed assembly either the bushing or the shives needing replaced. Well I just spent 2 hours trying to get the top cover on the head off and no luck. I loosened and removed the socket head bolts on top (5 of them) and noticed that the spindle speed selector was bolted to the top and bottom section. I removed those and still can not get to top off the head.
Looking inside and it needs to be taken apart and at minimum cleaned. Any help would be appreciated. I spent several hours searching google and yahoo for disassembly instructions and didn't find anything except j2 head instructions. Thanks.
