Flather Update

Unfortunately, I've  only spent a few hours since that night in Poughkeepsie where the lathe resides. I brought  a Sjogren chuck  back to Schroon Lake and cleaned it up. See: sjogren1.jpg


A couple weeks ago, Chris remounted the motor and wired it back up. It ran!! Yea, hurrah. 

Main problem: There is a small transmission between the motor and the main lathe gearing. See the two levers in:   Fmotor3.jpg
When in the one position the motor seems to be laboring. Perhaps that extra gearing needs a good cleaning.   Can't wait to make some chip on this old workhorse... and post some decent pictures...
