[ken gibbs]

I am serious need of two parts for my used lathe
1) The tailstock brace assembly that will take a #2 Morris taper. I need the assembly that holds the tailstock drive. and
2) the L shaped assembly that holds the tool rest.

any suggestions for used parts? Thanks.

Ken,
A man goes into the garage parts division I want two parts for my machine. Questions follow..... What make? What Model? Morse Taper You know this one.
And so you reveal enough information that the salesman is now in a position to start helping you. Next you take a picture of the machine and set about finding the type, model, year. Is there a name on the Lathe. How is it driven from under or back or? What size motor (always stamped by law) etc etc up until now its a mystery worth some effort along these lines. Last time I took several hours to solve such a mystery on this forum the originator never even said kiss my foot but here I go again.
Have success regards Peter.

Have success Peter.

Ken, Like Peter says we need every bit of info you can provide on the lathe you are working on to be able to help at all. We may be full of knowledge or full of something else, just depends on the subject!

Thanks and May the coming New Year be prosperous and happy,

Jeff
