Nelson,
I had posted earlier on the gear cutting - http://hobby-machinist.com/index.php?topic=2540.0
Really had good intentions of taking a few more pics but ---- Have all the gears cut now (I hope!!) Started out knowing of 4 that needed replacing, but on tear down and closer inspection, ended up doing 7.
By gear train, do you mean a shot showing them from the spindle down to the gear box? I could get a pic of that. I have a trial assy mounted up now and if Im doing something to where I can keep an eye on it, I let the lathe run, changing gear positions, to let all that new stuff "seat". First minute or so of starting, it was pretty loud and I had a scare thinking I had missed some dims somewhere, but it pretty quickly started quietening down and soon was running smoothly.
This is all the old shafts and gears that I re-made. The shorter shafts on the left are from the gear train, the 2 long ones are from the gear box, the 27T from the gear box (it was more like a chain sprocket than a gear) the gears on the shafts are from the apron - the hand wheel shaft and the rack gear shaft. Then the 2 reverse gears and the big one directly under the reversers.

Yes, I would love to see everything all lined up- from the spindle down to the gear box.
Also, if you could shoot any sub-assemblies that you do-
I need to do this for my 10L so anything that can help me struggle through would be great.
Thanks!

Here is a shot of the gear train showing the parts I replaced (in that area!)- whew! when I see them like this ... hmmm, did I do all that?? and that really is hardly a drop in the bucket. I got this lathe on May 18 - some 10 wks ago, and would guestimate have got another 4-6 wks to go.
