AFAIK, there is no bushing. The handwheel shaft runs in a bore in the cast iron. So do all the other shafts in the apron. The only exception would be the worm, it sometimes has a replaceable bushing.

Here's the 10L and higher apron assembly drawing (you don't say what 10" you are talking about). Please point out what bushing you are referring to.

That's a common wear point on a "well-used" lathe, many times the wick will eventually get cut by the gears if the wick wire holder service was not preformed. The best long-term solution after boring and sleeving the apron is to install a Gits oil cup for normal oiling and not worry about running the wick way down to the bottom of the apron.

Former owner might have bushed the handwheel shaft up to undo the wear issue.
