Mark V Control Sheave Replacement Issue

[algale]

I will say a clone. Early Shopsmiths were made in the USA. I have never seen that logo plate on a Shopsmith.

All Shopsmiths are and were made in the USA and none has ever had a 1.5 HP motor. Good call. This is a clone casting.

Now we know! Every part is subject to being 'different'. I for one am curious about the entire headstock(for future reference).

Yes split 'sleeve' is needed.

Easily satisfied curiosity. Go buy one!

Thanks again everyone for all of the insight and help. I will consider this resolved. A few things I've learned, my machine is actually an old Total Shop that was badged as a shopsmith. Split sleeve was going to get real expensive real quick so I had a mechanical engineer friend come give me a hand to figure out what size the old control sheave bearing (which had ripped into pieces) was so I could order a new one.

I went ahead and ordered a new bearing and got a new piece of key stock so I could rekey my old shaft. I'm back up and running.

Thanks again for all of the help!
