I checked out the sheldon and it had around 15 broken teeth on the spindle gears and excessive way wear so i passed.

thanks

From all of your advise i will contact the sheldon owner. What is the way to check the bed wear,also if it only has one chuck is it easy to get one for desent price? I read that if the spindle bearing are bad replacement ones are like $400.

thanks, i will contact the sheldon seller and take a look, if i buy it i will post

I am trying to decide on two older lathes, sheldon txl-18856 or a monarch A. From the pics they both run, minimal tooling.I do not mind some restoring. Will not be using it for anything in particular but do not want to put a lot $ into it. So is there any big disadvanteges to either one or both...

Hi, I bought an old cast iron small single stage 2cyl compressor at estate sale for $50. I mainly bought it for the 3hp dayton compressor motor that was on it that looked way to big for this little pump.I put a 2hp comp.motor that came from a working larger comp. on it. the problem is it starts...

thats what was thinging, but it also seems to turn kind of easy,do'nt know if thats normal

I have a 1962 saylor-beall 705 that i rebuilt the valves. 1 was completely blocked, another was partially. I can see the hatch marks still. and the cyl. are very clean,no carbon at all. It does seem to me to turn too easy by hand with the shaft with the pulley off even, and while turning it some...
