I didnt know that if the lathe was made in 1917 all the parts were the same, must have been a trick for Monarch, american , and southbend all to use the same gear>>>Phil

Here is the 1914 or so catalog - they were making 11 thru 18" lathes - and I imagine it only got moreso by 1917 - you'll have to say what size you have

Again, knowing what size swing the lathe is would help.
Not sure the year, but the ebay listing shows a worm gear that the style looks older than what came in the 1940's and 50's. It listed for a 16" swing:

So I looked at the catalog that the other gentleman has posted and my lathe seems to be a model 134, gap bed, 13" swing, 19" over gap, 6' long.
The ebay posting is a much bigger part, I'll continue to look
