A non woodworking, non Shopsmith refurbing project

Picked this up at a yard sale for $3. Decided it needed a bit of tlc.

First puzzle is how to remove the rollers and cutter. This side has pins that are aligned to slots. I assume that is to prevent the axles from turning. The heads limit motion toward the body.

From the opposite side, the axles are flush with the outer surface. There is no way to rotate the axles because of the heads and slots on the other side, so I guessed they would press out from this side. Turned out to be a good guess.

But how does the moving slide come off the main body? The slide is held captive when fully opened and when closed the cutter and rollers interfere.

Underneath is a clue. the slide has a notch. The main body where the slide 'slides' also has a open area. Not shown in the pix, but the screw has additional threads at the cutter/roller interference point. If the slide were moved further, the slide notch and the ,main body open area will align.
