I recently purchased a 15x48 Clausing/Colchester Series 6000 lathe with a two-speed motor. I am in the process of tearing it apart for cleaning and repainting. The machined surfaces appear to be in very good condition for a lathe that was manufactured in the 60's. There were leaks on the headstock casing, change gear casing and carriage gearbox, so I would like to address these. I have a manual but it does not provide specifics to my satisfaction.
Here are some of my questions:
1. What is the procedure for removing the lead and spline screws?
2. What type of gasket should I use on the gear box?
3. The tumbler arm appears to have (2) 1/4-20 locating screws that appear to be stuck. How best to remove these?
4. Where can purchase ball oilers
