I have been taking my lathe apart to go through it and found some issues with a gear and the mating surface. Its a 1941 South Bend Lathe Reverse gear assembly. Its the main gear on that part.
I have limited tools to address this issue, no mill, surface grinder or anything like that. I live in a machine desert. Any ideas how I should approach this? Would it be OK to run if I cant get all the grooves out of the surfaces? Are there any simple fixes to punt the problem down the road until I can address it properly?
or any recommendations of where I might send this out to be re-surfaced if that is the only choice? Each hole has a bronze? bushing pressed into it but they all share the one plane in common so perhaps taking a thickness off the entire surface is the best course of action? I haven't tried to measure but maybe .020 would do it.
Here are a couple pics of the assy before I pressed out the parts
And the galled surfaces I am trying to address.
Thanks for any help or ideas!
