hi all well its all panted gnaw and i have a rotating head witch was given to me by mick thank you so much witch the jaws fit the chuck on the lathe so i don't need to look for a replacement chuck pad a visit to peters and he had a rummage and came up with a motor for it not a original motor but one that will do the job nicely so today i have spent striping the motor re-panting it and re wiring it it needs two new Bering's but their are plenty of them on the net right pics

Hi Bob, its looking really smart now , should look like new once you are finished with it. I am glad the rotating head and chuck have solved your chuck problem , looks like Peter has come up trumps with a motor so just really the bed bars you need now ? I look forward to seeing it up and running soon :thumbup:

Cheers Mick.

hi all SOS for the long delay in post on the lathe had a problem with the motor i got a replacement motor for£5 at the boot sale the next job was to mack a new motor mount bracket as the original one had bin welded up badly i marked out a plate sum time a go but without a mill it wood of bin hard for me to get it dun but then John IE doubleboost offed me the use of his mill to do the bracket SOS no pics of me milling it just ones of the finished bracket right pics

Better than the flimsy original part Bob , a fine job , should be a really nice little lathe once you are finished with it.
