Half nut for harbor freight lathe wanted

[sundown57]

I just picked u a lathe at a yard sale today. But when I got home I found out I only have one piece of the half nut. I think it's a harbor freight lathe but not sure. Any chance someone can help me identify it point me in the right direction for parts? or better yet maybe someone is parting one out. thanks mike

Contact Harbor Freight or Little Machine Shop.

Should be a common part.

I think the newer lathes only have one half!

the back of the lever has 2 slots so i think it had 2 half nuts

I just found a parts list and it does show only 1 half nut. but it has what they call a lead screw support. I dont have that either. art 71 ( grip support looks like a small piece of angle iron I could probably make that. Plan to call tomorrow and get prices if no one is parting one out.

Grizzly is very easy to deal with for parts, yours should be very similar to their 7x12 G8688.

Harbor Freight is great about exchanges, but I haven't had any luck with their parts replacement.

Or a little measuring and a spare lathe. Half nuts aren't rocketry.
Huge thrill compared to "Hey, look at what I ordered!".

A great feeling to walk into the shop look at a line of lathes and ask ok, which one of you wants to make something today.
