You have a project!
Before you spend a bunch of time on it, make sure the spindle and bearings are good. My 2 cents.

When I saw it run it was nice and quiet. But I am collecting a LOT of info on this lathe and that will be one of the first things I do. Also when I took it apart it was FULL of oil. I had to put paper towls in both bearing journals so I didn't get oil in my van so I think that is a good sign.
 
Okay I need gears. I have been looking at QCGB's on Ebay. All of then I look at are longer than mine but they look like they would bolt up to my bed. Are there different ones that will work with my lathe? Thanks
