Daryl is right, epoxy also works fine. Regarding getting rid of all oil, filler and old paint: Hardly ever realistic with a complete lathe. Clean as well as you reasonably can. Scrape off all loose flaking paint. Clean with solvent, rags and brushes. In your case; Is the white paint someone put...
The reasons for painting the inside of cavities in cast iron components is 1. To prevent dust and casting sand from coming loose, 2.To make the surface smoother and easier to clean out (when changing oil etc). The problem is that the paints used often dissolve in the oil over the years, and acts...
Ulrich: I have a good collection of manuals for the Schaublin 135, 150, 13 and 213, but not so much for the smaller stuff. Let me know if you're interested.

I agree with Marc, try to clean everything up the best you can, and reassemble. Look through the other parts of the lathe without spending a fortune on parts. Clean the oil reservoir, look at the filter with the brass mesh filter, how is the the oil there?? Does the oil pump work at all? Try and...

You're right, the front bearing does not look good, but you will find out soon enough when you slide the outer ring off, so you can inspect the rollers and the ring surfaces. Is it rust we see, or dirt and gunk? Soak well and wiggle back and forth.
The determination of the plays: When...

Well, so far so good. Whether the (rust?) marks in the left race outer ring are too deep to be acceptable remains to be seen. The important thing now is to get the front bearings apart to find out why they are stuck, and how they are. To clear up a few things: 1. The lack of oil may well...
Aviv! Do you think that the lathe may have been out of use for several years? The strange resistance when you turn the spindle may be from gelled-up oil in the main spindle bearings, or other "dirt" in the bearings. The play in the bearings is very small (less than 1/1000 mm), and so is the...
PS, Avivz! Try to find out if the spindle is not binding because you have removed the speed change mechanism from the back of the spindle head, and possible locked up the spindle in the process - ?

Yes, the bearing arrangement was redesigned around 1972-3 or something (the drawings are from november -71) . Your lathe has two- row cylindrical roller bearings, and angle- contact ball bearings for axial control behind the rollers. My later (1974 model) has a redesigned spindle with a...
Avivz! On december 10 I posted a link to my document collection for the 135. Did you get it? On page 31-33 in the manual "Schaublin 135 servicehåndbok_sec_vat" there is a detailed description on how to take your spindle apart, and to adjust the plays. You will need a dial gauge indicating...
Marc!
Good job with the hole. I actually managed to get to the screw with a cut down hex key, I guess I have small hands. I actually do not know if the follow rests for the 135 and 150 are interchangeable, but obviously they could possibly be.
I think you may think twice about making a square...
