I think I have a No 952 sort of lathe:
Here is the lathe I got with some of the extras.
Another view
This shows the weird pulley arrangement. In the Delta Catalog they show the No952 Eight speed with a Countershaft set below on a low shelf of the table but this has the motor and countershaft mid height of the table and then two sets of pulleys stick out the side
I also have to figure out how to remove this rusted in MT2 piece. I have tried using some oil and WD-40 and hammering thru the outboard end but to no avail.
By the way the pic is named incorrectly, it is of course the headstock.
If you look to the upper left behind the pulley you can see the countershft pulley.
Tailstock has some rust on the collar that mars the graduations.
This nut is 1 1/4" over a long collar, I don't have a wrench big enough to even try to remove it.
I came with the machinist sliderest setup, I will remove and derust and also put the wood tool rest on.
This shows the two tool rests and I think what is called the banjo???
Three questions immediately, and I'm sure many more down the road.
How do I remove the rust from the lathe bed. I did get Evaporust from HF but don't have a 60 inch pan to soak the tool rest in, Evaporust says wet paper towels but does anybody have other thoughts?
With five pulley setup how do I attach belts and where to where?
For changing the speeds how do you loosen up the belts to shift them to another sheave?
Any thoughts comments greatly appreciated. I have never tried anything like this before and this old guy could use some advice.
