OH BOY< I got problems!!!
Got the old Sears 15 inch wood Lathe fired up today, after not running it for a few years.. Need to clean the surface rust off the cast iron bed !! Had a heck of a time getting that 4 prong spur drive center pull out of the head stock. It's rusted pretty bad, and the prongs are dinged up # 2 MT , it is.''
Questions:
1. What do you all suggest for a new 4 prong spur center ?? I checked, and some stores are back ordered for at least a Month.
2. How do you get that live center out of the tail stock ? It seems stuck...
3. What's that loud grinding noise in the Motor ? Is it the Brass gears ??? Is that normal ???
