Repairing a Cub Lathe

Nice job Rob :D - just love those gears :clap: :clap: :thumbup:
:scratch: I thought you were getting closer to done now, but there's no fresh grey paint on the apron or gearbox :poke: :lol:
Have to be careful with that blue stuff as well; seems like it contaminated the bed ::)
:beer:, Arnold

I have seen this lathe for myself, not many people whould have taken on such a project. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Rest assured the gears and shafts rob has made actually look better in real life .
It is nice that a machine destined for the scrap man will be once again working. :) :) :) :)

I agree, especially a machine tool that is lovingly restored. I cherish every part that comes off of my lathe. I had a much smaller rebuild job as I was able to order replacement gears for the shattered ones and the most significant work was in replacing the head bearings. That said, it just makes the parts that come off the lathe now, that much better knowing that I bought the lathe as scrap.
Nice work in all of the steel work shown here, very impressive!
