thanks for the manual unbolted lathe from table so i could get a good look found the gear has three stripped teeth on gear 10-1526 on the compound gear assembly now what about getting one
 
capt.ron,

You're welcome.

After looking at the parts drawing, I suspected it would be the left hand 10-1526 small gear. There are basically three sources for parts.

Someone on this list or on the Yahoo list.

Clausing.

eBay. Individual QCGB gears seldom show up (generally too little call for them so not worth the time to write an ad) but find the several sellers specializing in Atlas pieces and write and ask them whether they have any gearbox individual parts.

If you know the module and tooth count then just order a generic gear and machine it to size. I had to replace multiple gears in an Emco Maximat gear box and I bought my gears from these guys:

If the rest of the lathe works you can machine it to thickness on the lathe, bore it out and file a slot if need be for a key. You will just have to do it the old fashioned way.

Capt. Ron,

I just replaced that very gear in my QC box. I was reluctant to spend the $156.00 that Sears wanted and was lucky enough to find one on ebay for $30.00 with shipping. Try watching ebay for a while, they do come up occasionally.

I have the same lathe minus the QCGB, mymachineshop.net has a lot of atlas craftsman parts. I haven't ordered anything from them, so I don't know how their customer service is but might be worth a look.
 
thanks everyone i am going to look on ebay for the gear be hard to pay 156 dollars for it only paid 600 for lathe that was a expensive lesson to learn not going to take it apart till i find the gear still use lathe got the speed as slow as i can get it with the belts run the carriage feed on D slot slowest speed seems alright little fast for a rookie but can still use it after i get my boat drydocked and ready for crabbing i will have a little time to fool with it if anyone knows where i can find the gear 10-1526 or any suggestions would be appreciated

Ron,

One eBay comment - you are very unlikely to find a 10-1526 ever listed on eBay because it is a part of a compound gear and it is unlikely that a breaker would ever disassemble a QCGB to that level. What you should look for is 10-1551X or 10-1552X, the two compound gears that include a 10-1526.

But first thing that I would do is to call Clausing and see whether they still sell just the 10-1526.
