The shaft has a retaining collar on the end of it. The collar is held in place by a set screw. Once the collar is loose, the shaft will slide out.

I have the set screw loosened in the collar but when I yank on the nose the small gears just knock against their bracket. I have the brake off but not too much else.

Re: Make and model of this mill?
I have the collar loose but it seems to be stuck in the little gears
Re: Make and model of this mill?
Was there water setting in the gearbox so as the small gears could be rusted to the shaft? Someone on here had a good mixture they used to loosen up rusted up items.

Re: Make and model of this mill?
There was no water and everything still had a thin layer of oil on it. I’ve taken a hammer and punch to the gears after wedging the nose cap up and I don’t think I’ve gotten it to budge

I often see the old style style sheet iron with the small rolls at Canton. Tried to by some once to make a vane but couldn't find owner.
Re: Make and model of this mill?
Wish I could help more, but I have not had one of these apart. The closest I was to one was a hundred yards, and the guy would not part with it no matter what I offered. However it looks to be not a lot different than Samson in general. I have no idea what kind of bearings are in the box, if any. In my Model M, the shaft was so stuck in the pinions, I had to cut it in 4 places to get it apart, then a new mainshaft was installed. Large gears were also rusted in place, so I cut that shaft also. With steel on cast, any moisture in the case is deadly.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Same here...wish I could help more. I’ve attached a few more photos.
