Hi all,
I'm incredibly fortunate to have been given a Sears 101.07301 lathe by Jim Dawson this weekend and now the quest begins to get a few bits of tooling to fill out an otherwise really well equipped lathe. I'm very interested in acquiring:
1. a 4in 4-jaw independent chuck with 1" x 8tpi back plate (although I can always buy/ make a back plate if I need to). Cosmetic condition is unimportant as long as the jaws move smoothly and it hasn't been abused
2. change gears - any and all considered. I haven't yet fully figured out what ones are on there and what ones I'd really like to have (it's all a bit confusing at the moment!), but anything is going to expand what I have already. The other option is making my own, which would be a pretty neat project!
3. long shot - outside jaws for the 4" 3-jaw scroll chuck on there. No markings that I can see, although it needs a good cleaning.
thanks!
