I checked out your video as I was working on exact same apron. After I watched I went down and inspected my Carriage handwheel bushing. Mine was identical to yours, no lube hole. I suspect that incorrect parts were used on assembly line, maybe they ran out of proper bearings. I drilled my new one also. Thanks for pointing this out.

wild! I thought it was just mine. Glad I was able to help

Very nice job! Am contemplating buying a 101.07403 myself, but not sure I want to take on a lathe as a project. Looking forward to seeing how the lead screw replacement goes!

[@MakeStuffNation]

Thanks! The project is on hold for the moment because I'm enjoying the nice summer weather making some modifications to and sailing the wooden boat that I built. Will be at The Wooden Boat Show 2023 (23-25 June) if you want to see the boat in person.
I'll be continuing to lathe restoration soon.

On the apron assembly there’s a part that has what I’ll call pipe cleaners to distribute oil , I didn’t see that on yours

[@MakeStuffNation]

Interesting. I didn't see that anywhere in the parts diagram for this model. The oil passages I found in the apron all appear to be working as designed though.

[@jerrypeal653]

@@MakeStuffNation the pipe cleaners wick the oil and direct it to gears below. Could be later models I suppose. I actually bought my lathe with the 3 phase motor in it , luckily I hade a converter I found at a thrift store for 25 bucks .

Yo There, just ran across your video, it is in a timely manner. I am restoring a Craftsman lathe also, I am at the point of taking the carriage off, but have run into a problem. I noticed yours just slid off easy as pie. Mine is stuck in the rearmost position and won't budge. Did you take off the gib on the rear to make it come off so easy? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

[@MakeStuffNation]

I didn't really have to do anything once I took off the lead screw. I cranked the carriage all the way to the right with the handle and then just slid it off. It could be that your gib is tight. I would loosen it and try again.

[@CarlosGutierrez-ou2bb]

@@MakeStuffNation Thanks, Did loosen the gib, and it did come off easy as the proverbial pie. Thanks mucho , greatly appreciated.

[@MakeStuffNation]

Glad I was able to help! I'm learning as I go along. Unfortunately I'm on a work trip for a month so the project is paused for a while.
