I took my Shopsmith Mark V (1983) apart to change the sheave and bearing. When I got it, it was almost seized up completely. My problem is, when I put it back together, how do I synchronize the speed controller with the speed of the headstock?
I haven't got my sheave yet and ,at my age, I forgot if it was on slow or high. Is there a rule of thumb to putting it back together? I took the speed controller apart and have it all cleaned and ready to put back together as soon as I get the part.
Thanks for anything that you can suggest. Kaynyne

Regardless of whether a 'high speed adjustment' is made, the speed control is adjusted to the high speed stop just before attaching the ring(set to fast) and control knob.
The control needs to be set to fast to install the motor belt(next).
The high speed adjustment can be done at any time. IIWM, I would not do that until it is completely reassembled.

Thanks for all the help. I'm sure I can handle it. I know the people at Shopsmith are great to work with, but I didn't realize that once I bought a Shopsmith that I joined a family of great people, too. Thanks again for all the help, and I know not to be afraid to ask for help again. Thanks for everything, Kaynyne
