Hi Folks.
I tried to revive a thread in the general forum regarding this issue and got no response, so retrying here.
I have a 1963 15" LeBlond Regal lathe with a bad oil leak. Oil pours out as fast as I pour it in. Square head. I have the manuals, but difficult to discern where the seals/gaskets are. I have the instructions for removing the shafts on the front of the machine, but that's it, no idea where gaskets and/or seals are located, nor how to replace them. I have written to LeBlond with the same questions, still waiting to hear back.
Anyone seal up their head stock? Also considering replacing the spindle bearings. Many thanks!
