It begins the longest rebuild on the site I got the doors pulled of the collet close and miscellaneous parts paint stripper only this lathe is from the 1941 so high chance it has lead paint not risking it buy using a wire wheel. Pics to come

You will not believe I took out the oil tank that is really gross and I found the oil dauber! The dirty one is the one I found the nice one I got off of fleabay it is a later model

Tons of work today! Had to use a 2 ton jack to remove the pin from the collet closer! And the worst part…asbestos on the electric box! If I try to remove it it would get everywhere so what should I coat it in to stop any from getting airborne?

You do have your work cut out for you.
What collet system did they use back then?
 
Got some filler on the front! Front of the lathe is down to metal and some filler the back needs a bit more work.
