Not the easiest to see with the metal scale but it is 1 7/8
No pulley on the motor. That’s a missing link.Looks like the pulley at the motor is grooved. If so....or maybe in any case...I'd lean towards going back with serpentine belts. They work great on these old flat belted machines.
That’s where my 4 jaw chuck is supposed to be. I need a backing plate to screw on to that and bolt to my chuck.What is that a picture of in post #7. The first picture with the ruler. I thought that was your motor.
You are correct. You posted faster than i could replyMy bad. I was looking at your spindle in post #7.
I do not know the color code, sorry. It was painted green when i purchesed it. It was originally grey in color. The lathe used to be owned by a local school. They probably are the ones who painted it green. I believe it is an oil base paint the way it is flaking off. I’m hoping it doesn’t contain lead. To answer your application question, I’m sure you can brush it on and have it flow out so no brush marks are in it. Me, I’m probably going to spray it out of my cheap pot gun.I have a 47 Bridgeport that i would like to paint the color of your lathe. Would you happen too know where what the code # is
or even a close match? Im thinking brush on since its still cold here?
