I have Logan lathe model 200 without the transmission option. I was given a transmission for it. I was wondering if anyone has done this swap and has any advice?
Work carefully and safely you need to figure out what gears need to mount on the end for the transmission to work properly. Logan is still in business and should be able to help with manuals etc.

I would expect you will have to shorten the lead screw and possibly machine a key way on the end.as well as a thread.
realignment of the lead screw will be essential. so you will have to position the gear box carefully.
