Should it become necessary, after running a machine for a number of years, to obtain more adjustment in this front box, the spindle can be removed and the washers between the spindle collar and the front of the box can be reduced a little in thickness. The adjusting nut F will then take care of the wear for another long period. Nut K should not be disturbed, as this merely holds the box in place. The rear box is split and fits in a taper hole in the frame. It is adjusted by loosening nut L and tightening nut E.
