I have a Conover lathe and would like to get to the bearings to regrease/replace them. I'm stymied by one thing: I can't get the hand wheel off to remove the spindle. I'm talking about the wooden hand wheel to the left side of the headstock in the attached picture.
I think that it screws onto the spindle, and is just stuck, but I'd like to know for sure before I start breaking out the big can of whoop-butt.
Does anyone know for sure how this hand wheel goes on the lathe?
Thanks!
