Thanks for the tip on the belt, I'll get one of those for sure.Mcmaster or ebay for that gits oiler or just make a tapered plug with your new lathe
The 20T gear is the normal stud gear. The 40 is only used for 4-7TPI (see threading plate on gearbox).
Get a 445K6 +/- 1 inch serpentine belt to replace that noisy old joined belt
There appears to be a fair amount of wear and a ridge on your front ways, hopefully it won't affect your accuracy too much.
Which pic did you see the wear you spoke of on?
