A couple years ago I purchased a Tida TD-5A Lathe and I have made a few parts and done some threading projects etc.

In dialing in these projects it seems that I can never get it perfectly dialed in and I suspect that its bearing issue.
I say this since I can push on the chuck and get the dial indicator to move.

My question is simple, how do I go about locating bearings for this machine?
I'm assuming the bearings are marked just don't know where to source the bearings and seals.
Should I be looking for a certain quality of bearing?

With the inscribed numbers on the bearings and seals, you have the necessary information to start.
If you take metric dimensions of the bearings, you have even more information to go with.
You could try bearing houses like Applied Industrial or King Bearing or Motion Industries.
I’m assuming they are tapered roller bearings common in the asian lathes
SKF is a quality brand, as is FAG(Germany).

Seals are sourced in the same manner
ID,OD and thickness in mm is the most direct way to get what you want
 
It doesn't sound funny and no I haven't tried adjusting them but I will.
They don't exactly spin freely but maybe this particular lathe doesn't spin as freely as some that I've seen in videos??
