I bought a few months ago an old italian lathe. It was built in 1933 and it was in a rough condition, but I can see the original owner took great care of it. (I think it was neglected by the person that sold it to me, he was not a machinist).
If you have any information about this lathe it would be greatly appreciated. The brand is Mercurio made by a company called vdf or vfd. Couldn't find any other info on it.
Now my problem. The flat belt cone pulley on the bottom of the lathe is not alligned with the cone pulley in the headstock. This causes the belt to rub against the whole left side of the inner headstock wall. This didn't happen when I first tested the lathe.
I took the whole lathe apart, cleaned and oiled it and now this is the problem. Do you think I am missing any pieces or I did something wrong?
Any ideas are welcomed.
