There are very few Patterns, Castings or Repair Parts left in inventory for this lathe. All of the original drawings are still in the
files, so parts can be made if required. NOTE: During this time period, Hendey installed the Apron Oil Pumps internally and they are not
accessible from the outside. If your lathe has this model pump, it will be necessary to remove the Apron to service it. Also, IF your
lathe uses Lever Type Clutch Handles instead of the Cam Type Handles, I would recommend that you buy a copy of the assembly drawing
before you try to service the Clutches. The drawing will help you located the hidden screws that are not obvious and save you damaging
the Clutch mechanism. There have not been any parts in stock for this type of Clutch for over sixty years, so you don't want to break
anything.
