I am working on a, new to me, Hardinge DSM-59. The serial number is DV-59-8756. On the chuck end of the headstock, there is some kind of thin slinger ring on the spindle. Behind it is the nose cap which is mounted to the headstock with three SHCS. I used to have a newer model DSM-59 and don't remember that slinger ring. Is it supposed to be there? How do I get it off?
On the other end of the headstock, I'm down to what you see in the picture. I downloaded a set of instructions for replacing the bearing on this lathe, but what I'm seeing isn't matching what I'm reading. How do I finish the disassembly? The lathe needs new bearings and belts.
When I started working on this machine, the locking nut shown in the picture was loose and there was only one screw holding the nose cap in place. It appears that someone has been here before me. I don't know how far they got or if they reassembled it in the correct order.
