I am looking for any information that you guys may have about this lathe and the attachments that come with it that I recently acquired. I saw this lathe come up for sale local on facebook marketplace and my curiosity led me to bringing it home. I find it pretty interesting and from what I can see is it attached to a chevrolet transmission (3 speed + reverse). There is no other nameplates or stamps that I can see. I took a manual machining course during my time at college but it was mostly basic operation.I put a peice of stock in the 3 jaw chuck and when turning it on I noticed it shaked quite a bit almost like there was some slack in the headstock. I guess my question is, Does anyone have experience rebuilding these lathes and where is the best place to start/what tools and information is out there to help with the process. Thanks!
