Many thanks for such a speedy reply, yes it is a clutched model. The short hinge pin is already out no problem. Tomorrow I shall attempt to persuade the shaft with care! Hope to have some decent shots once back from the sand blaster, however it has taken six months to get here so don't hold your breath. Then a search for a suitable motor as this one is still set up for flat belt drive. Once again many thanks. David

Good evening, back with another question about my saw removable. Having managed to remove the eccentric plate with gentle use of a lump hammer, I am left with a large bush/bearing that ideally needs to be removed and there does not appear to be anything holding it in, is this another cone?

Is this realistic or am I better off covering to protect from the sand blaster and finishing this area by hand when it comes back? Obviously it would need to have the oil feed holes re aligned when re built. Secondly the clutch arm is held to the side of the saw by an odd shaped fixing which at present is reluctant to move (lump hammer again?). Does anyone know if this is threaded or a push fit?

Once again many thanks in anticipation for your help

David

PS. Ian your are right, the metal moths started chewing at all the unprotected parts within a day of getting them apart! Now oiled and a large tin of primer awaits on return from blast works

Many thanks once again, rest day tomorrow so I will have a go first thing. Regards David
