Hi,
new to the forum. I have a S-B 9C lathe made (near as I can tell) in 1916. I would like to convert the apron to a 9A so I can get the power cross feed. I don't care about the quick change gears. I can change them as necessary with no trouble. My question is: can I just change the apron or do I need to also change or modify the carriage?
