How to remove chuck on a #3 Warner Swasey M1200

Hello,
I have a #3 Warner Swasey model M1200 lathe that I've used for years.
I really like the machine, It has some wear but with a little thought I get by fine.
The machine was fitted with a three jaw chuck when I purchased it. I've had a few jobs recently where a four jaw would be really handy but I cant seem to get the three jaw off to figure out what mount I need to look for or Fabricate.

Anybody ever have one apart or know how it comes apart. I assume it's threaded on but I can't get it to move.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Mike
 
There are 5 bolts(I beleive that number is correct)on the face of the chuck that mount it to the spindle. Take bolsts out and tap with a heavey brass hammer. The shindle adapter is a short taper with a drive dog.

Easy peasy.
