Been away for a couple of years. I retired in California and packed everything up and moved lock, stock and barrell to Sapulpa Oklahoma. We moved everything ourselves which took several months and a number of trips but we got it done.
Then it took a year to get all the houshold put together and the shop up and running. Like it much better here in OK. much lower cost of living.
I've been making chips on my Chinese mill and my old South Bend 13" lathe from WW2. I've got the lathe working pretty well with the exception of thread-
ing. It wont track properly. I know the gears are worn out in the single lever quick change gearbox as well as the shafts. I contacted grizzly about parts but I guess they have no such parts available. Can anybody here help to point me in the right direction? I also need some headstock bearings for this machine.
thanks for any help
