my new toy

well it took awhile but I got the gear head apart.I had to take it to the shop and use the press.
I'm glad I did because the problem was the keys in shaft were sheared off.I'm going to have to make a new back gear shaft as it"s a mess,the ends were the gears go on are both really bad.hope to get some more pic's soon.
 
You're doing a very nice job with it! My 5914 isn't in quite as many parts as yours, but close. I'm using "Machinery Gray" Rustoleum on the majority of the lathe, and a lighter gray on the cross-slide and tailstock.
