Hey Lee, I found a 12 volt power supply in my shop. A few years back I replaced the "converter/charger" in my old 5th wheel trailer. It puts out 12 volts DC @ 50 amps total max. That should power the Z if I do get a 727. LOL...
Very nice job Lee. I just wanted to mention one thing. Some of those Bodine gear motors are sensitive to mounting position. Make sure the gears are getting adequate contact with the gear lube. (but you probably already knew that !)

After I got my new lathe up and running I made a coupler and installed a geared power window motor for the Z Lift. The power window motor needs a few more pounds of torque to raise the head. No problems lowering it.
Lee any idea what the torque specs are for that motor?
