Thread: Anyone privy to the Drummond 3 1/2"lathe?

Hello people.
In my attempt to coax a 1906 Drummond 3 1/2 " lathe back to life, I find myself in a pickle with the saddle. On this model, the leadscrew is centered under the ways, and engages in a brass sleeve which is in turn fixed to the underside of the saddle. As the brass sleeve has come out of its housing(?) in the casting under the saddle, I need to remove said saddle to fix it, but the part that hangs underneath to accept the brass sleeve prevents the saddle sliding off the end. There are 2 small holes from underneath where you can get access to the part, but I can't work out how it's attached. From the top, the surface of the saddle shows the end of a shaft/dowel/circular object flush with the surface of the saddle. It doesn't seem to be threaded, as this is usually apparent from the slightly eccentric shape caused by the cross-section of the thread showing. I could be wrong, however.

PS don't tell anyone in the Hercus thread I'm here; The lathe's for someone else anyway... Honest
