So I've started the teardown and rebuild of my SB 10L, its in really nice condition, besides a few.... things. I'm fairly certain it is a frankenstein monster of some sort, it has:
-a bed with zigzagging reinforcement bars between the two sides
-a saddle without the long extension out the back
-the QC gearbox with the extra row on the left
-1 3/8" spindle bore
anyways:
1- One big one, is I cannot find an exploded diagram that includes the locations of the oil fittings, for example there are two tiny holes along the top of the tailstock, one looks like it has a brazed bronze spacer in it, the other is just a hole, obviously the previous owner was a bonehead, one of these should be a zerk fitting to oil the tailstock.
These are all over the place, I need a good way of replacing them with proper fittings or oil cups as they appear to be either brazed or screwed in, cut and filed down and I dont want to damage the cast iron?
2- the chuck is rusted to the spindle, I've been zapping it with penetrate every day and will give a shot at removing it, I also have another independent chuck I can't get the screws out of (are the "claws" that hold them in stamped in or what?) and a drill chuck I need to disassemble them all to derust, any ideas for those?
3- Ive done a SB 9" little guy so none of this is really new to me, is there anything specific to the spindle/bearings disassembly I should know for the bigger lathes?
