Is this approach feasible? Would it work? Pardon the rough sketch... not to scale...

Only two of the four bolts align... not enough space to make a plate to bolt down to then bolt the casters to that plate...

Starting a thread in the correct section after buying my first lathe!! Thank you all for your feedback on the initial thread in the General Section.

Everything looks to be in working order and in good condition. I did clean it, took apart the compound, checked the gibs, and cleaned and oiled everything.

It all looks great just the gears all look a bit dry, make sure you oil them all there are many oil points and don't forget the top off the head stock there is are 2 oilers for the main spindle bearings. Have fun.
