Lathe Parts
My Bride found me a lathe for free. It is a Craftsmann model# 149.23871. The motor works well and the bearings are good. The only problem is it is missing the drive spur and live center. The spindle has no morse taper and is 3/4x16 tpi. The tail stock is 1/2x20 tpi with a .315 hole in it with a steel ball in the bottom of the hole. Unfortunately the parts are no longer available from sears. If anyone can tell me something that I could adapt from another lathe or any ideas they would be most welcome.
