First, just for the record, contrary to a lot of disinformation floating around the internet, there is no such thing as a plain bearing 618. "618" is the Atlas model number of the 6x18 lathe with Timken bearings. 101.07301 (and for one brief year 101.07300) is the model number of the plain bearing Atlas built 6x18.
Yes, the spindle cone pulley and small spindle back gear were only supplied as one part, M6-79. The pulley was apparently modified and moved over to the right into the space normally occupied by the bull gear, presumably keyed to the bull gear key. I'm afraid that aside from the thrust bearing, I don't see a single usable part in the headstock.
