Gentlemen:
Came into this 22-Y 9" 3' machine. 9" Junior, I assume. SN 43622 A.
Was at father-in-laws last 15 yrs. Did not run too much.
Cannot find much info on 22-Y's. Lots of stuff on other 9", but not on this straight 22-Y.
What other lathes is it compatible with for parts/repair/info?
Appears in decent shape, seems tight, good bed.
Motor probably original, runs, am replacing and probably adding a VFD.
Has replacement self-centering 3 jaw #3565-5"chuck. Bitch to get less than .015. Wondering if it was crashed. Might put the original back on. Have it and another in attached pics. Advise?
Need to replace felts, and clean up at a minimum. Wonder where to buy or how to make felts?
Think I'm gonna have a misaligned tailstock too. If zeroing or replacement with original does not fix it, may I assume I have a bad morse taper in the tailstock? Will a taper reamer fix it or is a chuck center grind better?
New to metal lathes. Mechanically minded, love to tinker and keep old quality things working, have complete wood shop.
Any advice and sourcing on getting this machine working right is greatly appreciated.
