Found the bushing, and have joined them! Now to cut some metric threads!

Thank you to all...

Anyone here can point be to the relevant threads...

Actually, that photograph, was EXACTLY what I was looking for!

You see, I wasn't sure, if the gear train had been changed, in all the time I have owned the lathe. Thank you for posting.

I did...

I have a LOT of spare gears,...

The one thing that has stopped me, is not long...

As follows...

Okay... I have owned an Australian Hercus 9AR (copy of a Southbend) lathe for maybe twenty...
