how to fix ???
Hi everyone, I'm new to the SS world just picked up a 1982 machine for a great price. I used it very little in the last 2 weeks since I got it. The problem with it is that the motor clutch keeps lining up with the opposite splines and not meshing together.see atttached pic. [ATTACH]18770[/ATTACH] hope i did the pic right.

I think you are about to perform a dismantling of the idler sheaves assembly. There is a keeper in there that should prevent that.
Fear not. Every Shopsmith owner should know how to do this. It is not hard, just a bit time consuming.
A couple pictures to follow.

Your photo is of the motor sheave assembly. I am buffaloed by the brass shaft
When you view the attached you will see there is supposed to be a long key that will keep the sheaves from touching like they do now. Here is the link to the Mark V exploded diagram. Page down to find the exploded headstock. Look at parts 114 thru 124. After disassembly, look for the spacer sheave (#124)
As I remember, there are no brass parts in this assembly.
Caution: before you remove the retaining ring, make a board with a hole large enough to fit over the motor shaft, but small enough to hold the spring from shooting out and causing damage to legs, hands, or parts of a shop wall. This board is also necessary to re-assemble the spring and retaining ring.
Whoops! almost forgot this before signing off.
