New To Machining And New To Logan Lathe, A Few Questions

OK so you can tell I am not the greatest at proooof reding my posts. Sorry, or at least slightly sorry.
 
I can't think of any reason to have a long screw as part of a taper attachment. If the screw has Acme threads, then there's a good chance that it could be a replacement cross feed screw.
 
What they said. And loosen the gibs on the cross slide. The Taper attachment may affect the ease of cranking if it's hooked up. A pic would help.
 
if i'm understanding correctly, you have a replacement crossfeed nut and crossfeed shaft.
most times they are pretty easy to change out.
i have not performed the job on a logan lathe, but i'm sure they are similar in construction to many other lathes.
it should not be very difficult to swap the old for new parts
 
I'll add that with all taper attachments I know of, before you hook the attachment to the cross slide, you first run the cross feed nut off of the end of the cross feed screw and remove the nut so that the cross slide is free to slide back and forth on the dovetail.
