My 9" is an early one with chrome spring loaded oilers on the top of the spindle. It has the big cast gear cover that doesn't latch to anything. The gear chart is on the end but only says Workshop precision and doesn't specify A B or C. It does say 9" though and it looks like a 9C. The gears are manually interchanged like a "c" which I thought it was. I was cleaning the apron and noticed no place to mount a threading dial. Has one hole to oil the carriage gears in the front, but thats it. So does this mean I couldn't mount one without machining and drilling the carriage or was there another way to mount on this lathe? Any options? Thank you
