Scott Jeffrey Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It’s in the diagram posted above. 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thanks......See it now...in between Thanks Now back to the problem of that knurled wheel not coming off ( set screw has been removed ) time for penetrating oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Shirey Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Your first picture. Just tighten the knurled nut enough to allow it to pivot freely on the arm then tighten the set screw. With the set screw tight. You should then be able to twist the knurled nut in one direction to adjust the oscillation arc. And it should not go in the other direction.

I can't get the knurled wheel off to get oscillating arm in between wheel and gear box. With set screw removed I can turn the wheel, however, it is not unscrewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I wouldn't put too much torque into turning that knurled disk off without heat. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 it turns freely ......just not unscrewing.....Mautson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Applied heat....nothing.... the axle turns along with the wheel .

Patrick Ray Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Never tried blowing one of these apart, but I see what may be a pin or set screw in the main wheel. Maybe that's holding the guts together? Maybe remove said pin or screw and that will get it apart to find other bits holding it together? Dunno. Just tossing out something.

Stan mentioned that earlier in post. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen but if I want that arm in place I will have to do that.

Patrick Ray Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looking at the diagrams Russ provided, I think that is a screw. #12 in diagram. Might hold that assembly into the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might hold that assembly into the wheel. That screw retains the spring and ball bearing that engages the ratchet on the arc adjustment wheel. Jim, if twisting the knurled knob spins the arc adjustment ratchet in either direction, then it’s likely missing the spring and ball pictured above. As I recall, removing the screw in the middle of the ratchet disc, allows the disc to be removed. Maybe with that out, you can get a better grip on it. Just don’t lose the spring and ball! They’ll fly out when you remove the ratchet disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Oscillator problem solved ....left it detached ( next owner problem ) Pontypool everything except hardware and non brass oiler all of which were van blued . Pontypool cured in 7 hours at 290 ish That felt is a lot harder to do then it looks and I need a better plate attachment than a Phillips screw. Thanks to Bobby Gaines for the thumb screw and Bill Dunlap for the brass blade ( original was steel ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
