Lathe Parts
My Bride found me a lathe for free. It is a Craftsmann model# 149.23871. The motor works well and the bearings are good. The only problem is it is missing the drive spur and live center. The spindle has no morse taper and is 3/4x16 tpi. The tail stock is 1/2x20 tpi with a .315 hole in it with a steel ball in the bottom of the hole. Unfortunately the parts are no longer available from sears. If anyone can tell me something that I could adapt from another lathe or any ideas they would be most welcome.

I saw some adapters(threaded) that may work for you |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

When your wife needs a car, get her one without wheels!! Good luck with the search.

Unfortunately the parts I need are no longer available from Sears and the company that made it for them doesn't support the tools anymore

Save your self a lot of hassle and save up and buy yourself one of the small lathes most have like delta, jet, etc.. IMO worth getting something that is built good and will be a pleasure to operate into the future and not have to fix and repair weekly. I own an old clunker and I can make what ever I need but i am sick of screwing with it and will soon get into the modern age. I see you live on cape maybe? I can't believe I am going to say this  but if you still feel like you have to save this project drop by my work some nite, I work on cape, and I can see what I can do, but IMO not worth it. Save and get something new. They are not that expensive and you will be a lot happier in the end. Paul |

I went to the sears home page and at the bottom right click on parts, put your # in and a parts list comes up.

As a contractor, I have jury rigged some tools before, but a lathe is not one I would be trying to fudge mismatched parts together, unless a machinist I trusted were to give it their blessing. Too much speed too close to my noggin. Three I would seek out for advise would be #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, ProfessorM, and EastendLu.
