Looks like you are going all out! Did you remove the spindle? If so, are you replacing the spindle bearings? Regarding the rebuilt oil pump, did you get a rebuild kit from Monarch? Please keep us posted with updates and photos!

Great job on the clean up and paint! I had the covers and lots of loose parts on my machine powder coated and was not happy with the results: the texture of the cast iron prints right through and it looks bumpy. I also couldn't match the powder coat color with the paint that I used.... still running the 115v dc motor. Im going to be rewrapping the main field poles as the insulation appeared to be pretty dryed out and worn. I took it through it's full range of RPMs before deciding to take her apart and rebuild. ...

What kind of motor do you have? That vintage machine would have originally had a motor with 230 VDC armature and 115 VDC field. Does it have a motor/generator to provide the DC?
Where abouts in AZ are you? (I'm in Tucson.). West side

Tucson it is, west side near PCC west campus. ...
You're really doing a museum-quality restoration. Very impressive! You're going to give DaveE907 a run for his money....
The coil is from the reliance DC motor 230x115

in all the dirty glory I found it in.
I may catch some flack for this, but the amount of knobs on the panels seemed to disrupt the lines of the machine (tease away). So I've adapted some shoulder bolts to get the job done. I still need to drill some taper pin holes through the shoulder and remove the threads, but I believe it'll help my goofy idea of what I hope this lathe to look like.
