Very similar, but there are a few minor differences. Ours both have a
separate Light and Motor switches and they have a head stock lock
lever on each side of th' column.

Are you sure that those are not for locking the motor position?

No, I'm not sure. Upon further examination, it appears that to lock
th' head from swiveling you need to tighten two blind allen screws on
th' right side of th' head. I think you're right about them having to
do with belt tension.

That's what mine (not an AMT) has -- and that allows the mystery lever
(from your other article) to move the motor back and forth to tighten
the belt. But you'll first have to fix the link from the mystery lever
to the motor mounting plate.

Which means acquiring another 1 1/16" deep socket to remove th'
spindle pulley so I can remove th' belt guard assy. Crap, who'd I
lend that too...

Good Luck,
DoN.

Thanks DoN, this project is gonna have to go into a holding pattern
for a bit now. I am curious as hell what I'll see in there tho. If
it turns out that I'll need to buy or make parts, I may still modify a
spring loaded tensioner out of a spare one off a motorcycle I have as
a temp fix. You know, one of those fixes you'll do right some day
later g.
