After some careful hi-spotting and filing of the bunged-up end of the
motor shaft, the pulley now slides onto the motor shaft properly, so I
put it all back together, this time with the setscrews tight. The
wobble is now gone, so I lucked out -- things were not too badly chewed
up, and no locktite will be required. Nor is the famous plastic bushing
a problem.

Now, I'm trying to bleed the air out of the hydraulic system that
communicated speed changes from the varispeed control on the top of the
lathe to the adjustable pulley on the motor shaft. The instructions in
the manual do not appear to be working.

There is a Yahoo group for Clausing owners that has some pretty good
information. This is a regular topic and there is a writeup in the files
section on "advanced" bleeding methods.

Good Luck,
