Ok I get stupid user award, Delta.com has a manual its just for a much newer
machine but it should do. After reading I used a little extra force ot move
the knob and it works fine. It was very stiff, I don't think this thing has
been turned on in many years, the cord is all dry rotted. Seems like a nice
little machine.

I just pick up a 14" delta band saw, it has the dual speed gear box for
both metal/wood. I am having trouble getting fof one speed to another,
the gear box seems stuck but I have no idea how to change it. I am sure
it is simple but turning the knurled wheel does't seem to do anything.
Its just free wheeling now its in no gear. I once looked at a web sight
with delta PDF manuals but have not found the sithe instead I have found
the normal 50,000 people selling them at way to much money on ebay.

If your email can handle a 4 meg file, I scanned my original 8 page manual
and 4 pages of the exploded diagrams and parts list of a newer model. I
won't send it unless you say go.

I suspect you may have the newer model. The knurled wheel should slide in
and out of the hub holding the main 8" drive pulley. It should cause a
toothed coupler to engage the big pulley when pulled out (high speed) and
engage the gear reduction inside the gear case when pushed in (low speed).
