HI. I have a B&S N°2, much more minimalist (in terms of mechanical components) than yours. Behind the motor is hung from the spindle holder slide by means of a cable and a turnbuckle (to adjust the belt tension) On the bench, in front of the X table I have a lever, controlled by limit switches (adjustable) on the table, which allows the inversion of the movement. Laterally to the right (under the table) I have a bar with limit switches (also adjustable) which crush the piston you indicated (at min.) and which serves to reverse the movement in Y I've seen the work you've done on the reverse differential and when I have some time, I'll try to control it better. So far I've just rebuilt the screw and splined axle for the inversion. Under the gearbox (inside the crankcase), I want to put a drip pan to catch the oil dripping down the bushings. I built myself an extractor to remove the grinding wheels from the spindle. In my case, to activate the movement of the Y axis, the flat belt of the motor must also touch the pulley you want to operate. In your case, having the motor fixed, it is easier for you to connect the motor with the Y pulley with a small strap. If you give me your mobile number, I can send you photos by whatsapp. Greetings from G Crimi
Good job 👌
Thank you!

You have done some really nice modifications to your B&S! Great ideas!
