Thanks. Just wondering...Bob

Just a thought, but if the gear box is that worn out then maybe try and find another complete one and just replace it.

I'll be keeping an eye put for one, but funds are a bit limited for that expense at the moment, so....... So we will see!

I think I saw a couple on ebay?

Ok, working on taking the change gear box apart and need to remove this shaft. Have the pin out. Though about drilling and tapping the end and making a puller, unless some one knows......... Lots of wear. The small shaft looks like there is a bushing already there, so should be an easy fix. Watching ebay for gear boxes, one just closed at $200. At present I am long on time and short on funds, so looks like I will be taking care of this one.

Ok, got the whole gearbox apart! Now to decide how I want to go about repairs. Housing bores are about .01-.015 over, shafts on the wear areas are about .01 under.

Sounds like time for bushings and new shafts, it will make it like new!

Nice thing about tearing the whole gear box down is cleaning out all the oil passages an seeing how they work. Now to get started with how I am going to go about the repairs.

OK, been a while but got back on some work on the lathe! Made new shafts for the gear box. Got the lathe work done at the shop this weekend while no one was there! Will do the mill work at home on the bridgeport. Here's some pics of the old and new and machining.
All three.
