The old lathe I bought seems to have the brake setup backwards, at least from any other lathe I've used because you have to step on the pedal the whole time and then let off for it to 'brake' (engage on the motor pulley).
Is this normal for this model lathe?
Secondly, it appears to have lost most of not.all oil in the headstock. There was significant oil under it in the area by the motor, and I don't see much of anything in the sight glasses. Are these close enough to the Jet 1340 that getting parts from one of those catalogs could work for this? Thanks!
