Welcome plunger, nice to see you here as well
I don't have the part to hand, but I did find a picture online of the critical parts: South Bend 9" Lathe tumble reverse shaft | pics for someone … | Flickr
The idea is simple- the shaft spins in the casting, constrained by a low sort of head (like a nail) on the inner side, and the pressed-on gear on the outer side. The OD where the second gear rides is slightly smaller, so it is just a sliding fit. The two of them share a key. The threaded section is pretty short.
HTH,

Hi I am trying to put together a beat up southbend. We are trying to get the geartrain to work.
Does anyone know what this idler shaft should look like. It was keyed to the wick slot and Im sure thats wrong.
If anyone knows where I can get a drawing of what it looks like we will be very grateful.
