Thanks for the advice, I live only a few miles from the Myford factory, so
I popped down and bought a new poly-v belt. The gentleman in the spares
dept. explained in detail how to change the belt, and even gave me the 1/4
inch B.S.F stud needed to remove the spindle collar. Now for the hassle of
changing it.

Hi gang,
I own a Myford Mystro lathe, replacing the belt is a big hassle. the
bearing has to be taken out and the pulley and spindle have to moved
before you can replace the belt. The belt is a poly-v belt ( flat belt
with lots of little V-Grooves on the underside) about a half inch wide.
Can anyone tell me if this belt can be replaced with a link belt? Would
save a lot of bother if it can. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Tom
Hoping Tom Dougall is still reading this. I just discovered Myford is
out of business, and I can't find my manual showing how to disassemble
headstock. I think I need to clean out old grease and re-lubricate it.
(I do have the stud for access--found it in Maryland.)
Hoping someone has a copy they could copy for me.
TIA,,,Bill Day
Myford is back in business, under new ownership but not making new
machines yet - they may be able to supply a manual (
www.myford.co.uk
)
Tony Griffiths (
www.lathes.co.uk
) may also be able to help - keeps a lot
of Myford paperwork
Good luck
