HELP, Craftex 10"x18"!!

[TurningSteelOn]

This is my first lathe I just bought and I cant get the gears to line up to set for threading. I have put them all in the correct order but they dont line up, the feed sprocket is too big to contact the other gear but they are the right gears in the right order as far as I can tell Im trying to cut 28 tpi. Does anyone know what could be wrong?? Thanks AL

Show a picture of the actual gear install.

As you can see the gear C(60) will not align with gear D(120). I positioned them to show you as best as I can. Thanks for any and all help guys!

Might if you turn the gear C60 round?

[HorridHenry]

Here's another Same model....one gear is different but the other two are the same but the C60 is as I thought it should be ie turned the opposite way round....

[HorridHenry]

Your pic of the gears dosen't make sense,the largest of c60 gear is just there doing nothing and won't do nothing unless the gears are wrong or the meshing adjuster needs aligning?

I figured it out! I just got this lathe and I had over looked the fact that the idler for Gears B and C can be adjusted...I missed that one(idiot)! Anyways guys I fixed my problem and now im up and running. Thanks for your help anyway!

I figured it out!

Er it wasn't because of our input that the penny dropped was it?
