I'm putting together a 1950 10 x 24 Tray Top lathe that I bought as a basket case from the estate of a guy who started a rebuild. It came in several boxes, and I've put everything together that I have. I'm missing the two end gears, a 120t idler gear, and a smaller 66t (I think) drive gear. I do have the quadrant bracket, but not the gears, nor the shaft the larger gear rides on. I'd think I should be able to order gears from Boston gear, if I can find the specs for the original gears. I'm hoping to find someone with an early 10 or 12.5 Tray Top that could help me with some specs for these gears.
Also, I don't have the leadscrew to gearbox clutch, I'm hoping for some ideas on what I might fabricate to take it's place. The shaft exiting the gearbox is splined, the leadscrew has a typical taper pin attachment.
thanks
Mike
