Discovered problem, LEFT hand threads. Didn't hurt the spindle shaft,
just the mild steel drawbar keeper. So, now i have a lathe fab job.

I guess left threads make sence, the spindle turns right 99.9% of the

frequency in all major news outlets will not be believed by some members
of the populace. It is the permanence of evil; you can't stop it." (Ann
