New forum member and already in need of help. I recently acquired a 1930 South Bend 9” lathe with a single tumbler quick change gear box...its in good condition for the most part, except that some time in the past the tumbler lever and the idle gear broke off and have been lost...
Ideally I would like to find a replacement tumbler lever with gear, however if I could get a decent set of dimensions and tooth count for the idle gear I could have a gear made and fabricate the handle if necessary.
So if anyone could provide the idle gear dimensions (or where to source a replacement handle/gear) I would be grateful.
Thank you for any help ahead of time!
