According to Darron R. Birgenheier :
Howdy all,

I own a Clausing 5912 vari-speed 12x36" 1HP lathe. The lever that
switches gears on the quick-change threading gearbox is broken off right
where the spring-loaded knob attaches. If anyone has a spare from a parts
lathe, I would like to buy it. This part is available from Clausing, but is
quite expensive, as I recall.

Based on the parts list from April 1 1998, it is not stocked, or
at least was not at that time.

I believe that the QC gearbox is the same as on my 5418, which
would make the lever in question part number 041-021. Along with that,
you would need the knob (441-007), the sleeve (702-006) the spring
C-3328) and the pin (562-001), as these should all be part of what broke
off.

Other parts, which should still be in the QC box are the plate
(Q-554), the two gears (Q-515 and 341-003) the shaft (Q-516) the collar
(Q-454) and three groove pins (also one in the broken off part) and
three screws, but those are available from many suppliers).


I can sell you a complete gearbox ass'y for $200. I have a 5900 series
I am parting out but don't want to get down to selling pins and screws
individually. The machine is missing the cross slide and compound so
needs to become a donor machine. Leigh at MarMachine (949) 645-7601
