Looking for info/Parts: Forge ML1236GH

[ykdave]

Hey guys, im trying to find some information and hopefully parts for a lathe the boss just picked up to tinker around with at the shop. im no machinist by any means but i can make it go around and do what i want LOL, we just need it for basic things like making seal/bearing/bushing installers ect, so its more than adequate that way.

The lathe is a 1996 forge ML1236GH, i cant find ANYTHING on this lathe.

Its usable, but it needs some TLC, trying to find some parts: Thread dial is missing worm gear and the wedges for the cross slide and compound rest have both been broken and missing a piece at the ends

anyone ever seen one of these things and have some info?

just buy parts for any old import 12x36 lathe?

And how would one go about finding the correct pieces from an import to fit a canadian built machine without ordering a million wrong parts first?

Ive tried looking up a bunch of parts diagrams for more common units, but nothing gives specs and none of the thread dials ive looked at were the same
