Reply To: T1 gear sliding on arbor

Hi Jimmy, I haven’t worked on your particular clock but the concept should be the same, how does the other one look and is it working properly????? yes they should be fairly snug yet like you said able to wind. Does your click have a flat face???? or has it worn a bevel on it??? if so then you should address this also.. could be the culprit for this situation. sooooo tighten it up somehow, maybe Bob would have the proper way for actually doing this, I kind of have my own process but I have read that if you have a punch large enough you can tighten the collet back onto the arbor, something a little bigger than the arbor yet leaving enough material in between to get a good swedge, which leaves the possibility of getting it too tight, you can loosen it with a light tap from the other side, there is only one other thing, whether you have a large washer that fits over the brass collet on the great wheel gear. if you do let us know, would be a little different..
