Default Beaver Model 3400 Lathe

Stick a bar through the spindle and knock out the driver. The driver is
seated in a taper socket, held by friction.


Hoping you look at your owners' manual. CW is speaking from below the
bellybutton. The 3400 should be similar to this

with a threaded spur center.
http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/Images/4883-B.jpg IIRC, there are flats on
the spindle to keep it from rotating as you unscrew. It will be a
right-hand thread, so Leftie will get Lucy. The one in the picture
http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/Images/5522-B.JPG here shows threads and
the locking setscrews on the other end.

Recommend a bit of WD40 or your flavor of rust-busting item prior to the
attempt.
