Mark V Carriage Assembly Lock Rod

Post by mlynes »

The lock rod on my carriage assembly (Item #160 on the parts list) snapped where the roll pin penetrates the carriage lock handle. The on-line parts list says it is no longer available. Does anyone know where I can get another one? I guess I could have a local machine shop thread another rod for me if I can't locate one that is readily available. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome! Always good to see a first time poster joining us.


Please give shopsmith a call and ask as they may have changed part numbers some where along the line.

The carriage should be around as it is a part that is replaced when a system is upgraded to a 510/520. Perhaps someone here would have an extra. Or start checking ebay, looking for a complete assembly.

I think this is what you are looking for.

I guess we need to know - Mark 5 Model 500 or Mark V Model 510/520

Welcome to the forum. I hope this helps.
