My bench has been offline for a few years and finally getting things back in order.
When I tried to cycle the LNL arm, the ram only raises perhaps a 1/2" before coming to a hard stop. Visually I can't see what's preventing the ram from moving further. Not using any force. So I unscrewed the shell plate and found it wouldn't come off the sub plate. Won't move at all. My recollection is it should simply lift off the sub plate.
Attached are a couple pics. The overhead shot - I can't remember if the key on the drive hub should be visible.
Also need advice on what might be preventing the ram from raising less than an inch, if it's not associated with the shell plate issue.
Expecting this to be some stupid operator error thing. I left the hobby so long I'm going to work things back up like a total noob. Thanks for the help.
