I'm going to change out my spindle. But before I pull out the old one I'm wanting to have ALL the replaceable parts replaced or ready to go back in. I have the take up nut, needle bearing replacement for the washer, thrust bearing, pulley cone, bull gear. My Question; On this Lathe made in 1935 or 36 . It's a top oiler ,and there appear to be some felt washer/gaskets just inside the outer edge of the bearing casing around the spindle ,in a groove . This would be to help retain oil in the bearings I assume. I have searched and have not found or seen these washer/gaskets spoken of or made available for sale in any rebuild kit. Any info on this would be appreciated.
 
I'm working on figuring out how to post pics. The threads on my spindle are stretched and beat up. I found a spindle (lightly used with very nice threads) so I bought it. There is a picture of a SB 9 415 on swells.com that has the top oilers like mine. Thanks 😊
