... Get and install a VFD. Three-phase power is ever so much better than single-phase power. I presume the lathe has a 1/2 to 1 HP motor. VFDs in that HP range...
That lathe is a 1974 the same as mine. I swapped my motor with a mexican GE 1/2 hp that i got local for 139 bucks. http://www.grizzly.com has some cheaper...

Hi Don, I've done several gear repairs for South Bend owners. I usually just make replacement gear rings in 1144SP or 80 kPSI ductile iron so you get all new...
Again thank you for the help and links. I will order wicks from Grizzly. Will try this repair method for the gears. On another note, could someone tell me how...
