That looks like a very close relative of mine. On mine there were oilers on top of the head casting. Once I removed the oilers and drilled the holes deep enough to reach the bearings I had a way to inject insufficient quantities of the incorrect lubricant. To remove the spindle on mine you have to remove the adjusting nut from the end of the spindle, then the pulleys, and the spindle can be driven out with a heavy, soft, mallet. A threaded-rod puller might be gentler. On mine the bearings are taper-rollers. I wonder what yours are? I guess it is now too late to warn you not to buy one of those lathes? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
