Default Help fixing up old Lathe

I think this might be the same lathe as mine, just a different name

I had the same issue. I found there are two set screw holes, so be
sure you get both. It would be wise to check for two set screws in each
hols as others have mentioned.
I found with mine that burrs were holding the pulley in place. No
amount of oil will loosen a burr. I used a block of wood to cover and
protect the pulley and then drove it deeper onto the shaft. Once it
started to move, it broke the burrs and was relatively easy to wiggle
off.
hope this helps,

Brad, it sounds like you have the same machine as I do. I've located
both set screw holes and completely removed the set screws. With a
little bit of light shining down the hole, I can see the shaft, so
there aren't two set screws. I'll try to bash the pulley down onto the
shaft a bit further to see if that helps break it free.

Thanks for the advise.

Mike
