I have a single tumbler 9A that has similar bed wear. I would love to source a decent bed for both! Thanks for weighing in.

Went and looked at the lathe today. Pretty disappointed with the state of it. Basically almost sitting on a diet floor. Fair amount of wear on the bed ways near the chuck. Lots of rust on the bed...

Everything lined up for tomorrow morning. He has one of these sitting outside too. Should be interesting to see what that one looks like. Lol!306515306516

The scrapper worked well. Looked like they used flexible gasket sealer.306391306392306393306394306395

Thanks Johnoder. Looks like the lube system has been reconfigured/changer at some point. There is no filter located here anymore and the lies have been capped off. The filter is no located in the...

Want to remove the cover on the headstock and take a peak after draining fluid for replacement. Removed the four bolts. Is there anything else that I might be missing? Will I need to scrape and...

Good stuff. Can't wait to see the bed ways in person. Not getting my hopes up. Lol!

Hoping to pick this up for $150. Looks to be a 9A. Buddy said it should be still under power and working. Hope to get some better pics soon and the through hole spindle diameter. Really want to...

Sorry about the mix-up on longitudinal vs front to back. Makes sense it's relative to the operator. Will definitely check out those threads! Thanks again for your help.

To summerize, wire brush and WD 40. Then a MT shank with tang removed and lapping compound that breaks down or just get the finish reamer. Emory cloth glued to a brush or something might be an...

Texasgunsmith, thanks a million. For all that info. Plan on ordering 4"x1" steel discs and counter boring them for the leveling feet per the manual. My millwright buddy let me borrow these. I just...

I'll have to look on Mcmaster and see if they have any tapered brass brushes. I assume pure brass (not coated steel) is the way to go? Thanks for the suggestion. I can't remember off hand what my...

Tailstock taper is looking a little rough. Just wonder what is the best way to deal with this? I assume they make a reamer for that, but don't want to go that route if ai don't have to.305764305765...

Could always perform your own upgrade on the bearings. That's just a little wrenching.

Man those look nice. I like the idea of thick rubber. Pieces from stall mats might work too. I really want something for just moving things around the shop. As I aquire new things, it's always...

Plenty of Diesel fuel around the farm. If you look at the one pic, you will see a green can on the cross slide. You can load it up with anything you want and pressurize up to 200 psi. I initially...

Sorry about the irrelevant photos in that collage. Lol!

That's funny. I would have been happy as a mechanic and or machinest, but recruiter/parents convinced me to go into electronics. I spent over a year in 29 Palms to become a ground radio repairman. ...
