Hi guys, this is Trux again.I am still getting started with this old 1944 model 16"SBL.The cross feed has about a half a turn of slop in it.I took off the handle and cleaned it all up.If I tighten up the handle nut it takes care of the slop, but I can barely turn the handle.I was wondering if the dial is supposed to have a washer between it and the apron?Any suggestions.I also am looking for a book on this specific lathe.I bought the book "How to run a lathe", but it don't have much on my lathe.I think from the pictures in the book my lathe was an old turret lathe?It is missing the tailstock, and I want to put a regular tailstock on it if at all possible?I am also having alot of trouble getting the bullgear in gear for direct drive?I don't know if I don't have it adjusted properly or not since I put the spindle back togethere( the cone was stuck on the spindle)Please help me if you can.Thank you
