I went with the green belt that Al Bino sells. He talked me through measuring for the new belt and I ended up with 62 3/16" (by 1" wide) which was perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if they vary some from lathe to lathe. I put my adjuster right in the middle and haven't had to change it. I think my original belt was 61 1/2, but it always seemed too tight.

The gluing was pretty straightforward--he sends detailed instructions.

Thanks Bill I ordered a green belt from Al Bino as soon as i got home from hosp. With some help we measured 62 5/8"
 
So got new belt on tried first cut on a 3/8 bolt , made the flats round then turned the od, got a rough finish . Long story short cross slide screw is worn in center. I put a new bronze nut on it but didn't check play in center of screw . Hopefully Steve w can get me going with new screw, shaft, gear. Was hopeing to use thrust bearings instead of bushings for taper shaft.
 
Hope someone can help

Hi all , After trying machine I was getting rough cuts and determined the
cross slide was to sloppy so I removed x slide screw assembly and managed to find the whole screw assembly on eBay ,dial to shaft, it was pricey but I wanted it rite ,as the one that came with Mach was Frankensteined, you can see in pic.
Any how the ball crank gear shaft I got has a bent /cracked spline ,the apron gear doesn't ride on the bent part but dose ride over the crack that is on both sides of the spline don't know how much pressure is on spline but don't want coming apart .
Question: u think spline can be repaired ( brazed ,welded ,jb weld )
this setup was pricey but I need to be making chips and don't know when another better taper ball crank shaft gear will come up. eBay listing stated in " in excelant condition " if fixable I'll try for partial refund. Here are some pics
Thanks for any suggestions. iPads make this easy.
the pic with both assembly's ,the one on bottom is what came on Mach ,starting to wish I didn't get taper.

Hi all , not to crazy bout new site software but I'll deal with it.
So I got another shaft gear that I repaired the key in , seems the pin hole was not centered on key slot probably hand drilled , started reassembly of shaft gear , thrust bearings, 0 dial bushing , and pined bushing.
Turns out all the holes on this assembly are hand drilled Evan the ball crank handle pin hole, off center and crooked so the parts are not interchangeable on the telescoping gear shaft. Now I have three gear shafts that don't work . If I can't find a good shaft with original bushing ,pin ,and ball crank I'll have to redrill all holes to assembly , haven't figured out how to drill hole with thrust bearings tight , no play,
Eather that or I have a expensive boat anker

Got the gear shaft cross slide taper all working good thanks for the help.
It seems the spindle is still getting a little warm on the big end , lift test showed .001
Guess I'll be pulling spindle again checking shims : big end to small end dif:
Flush oil , put in new oil .
Any other suggestions ?.
The pc I had all the how to downloads on crashed again , and lost them , and seems the site has problems with the downloads section , Timing is everything. Also the curser on this iPad won't go back anymore
Think it's the site software It works every ware else.
Anyhow thanks for any suggestions

I've never seen anything on bolt torques for anything on these machines , is there torque specs ? I've often wondered about that.
Thanks

I didn't see a torque on the 10L sheet (SBL_form_2002.pdf), so perhaps not.
