Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a 1935 Southbend 9" lathe. It was missing the chuck, but wasn't worried about it since I had an extra. Unfortunately, the thread pitch on the 1935 lathe is 1 3/8 x 10 rather than the newer 1 1/2 x 8. My question is how difficult would it be to replace the spindle with a 1 1/2 x 8 version? I saw several reasonably priced spindles on eBay and wonder if this is the best route? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
