Thanks for all the comments..
WoW now thats a deal, that must of been a job moving that bad boy, enjoy..
I got to say I did not think it was really that bad to move.. But I had to excellent helpers, and I have moved many things with one of them we work pretty well together.. cherry picker, pipes, straps, and spud bar. went smooth
The M-head uses a total loss oiling system. You'll know they're getting oil if there's a dirty oil soaked line across the front of your shop apron.
If it has been greased, the only way to really clean it up is to disassemble the table and saddle. Although, if it moves OK I'd just shoot some oil in it and get to work.
A new pulley will likely be hard to source. What is wrong with the one you have?
I am guessing the head bearings are not getting oil then. I didnt see any really running out or flinging. I will dig into that.. but it sounds pretty quiet to me..
Everything moves great.. I used some small brass tubing brushes and just squished the grease out of the ports, then followed by a good douching of atf, wd40 till I got filthy dirty oil flowing out of all the way areas. So I am assuming ports are clear. I am gonna flush some more oil threw it this weekend, and get some way oil for her..
Pulley looks like it lost a war with a puller.. smallest step is badly worn second step is chewed from the puller battle(I assume).. Works, but I will replace if possible...
Lookin' perty good there. Are the pictures in your shop or the sellers? If yours then how about a tour of the lathe and other shop pictures? What is the spindle taper in that machine? I have an old Index machine that was a BS9 that I had reground to an R8. I figured that by the time I rounded up all the BS9 tooling I would be money ahead to spend the~$200 to have it reground. Now years later I am still happy with the decision.

no neat sig line
Its in my shop.. I need to do a some walk around pics..
I am pretty sure its a Morse 2 taper.. at least I tried a known Morse taper item and it did fit tight..
I would think a good motor pulley for an M-head should be easy to find. Try googling Plaza Machinery and see if Joe has one, he usually has a lot of Bridgeport stuff.
The list at plaza says he has one
50. M head original motor pulley, excellent, $65.00

Getting in contact with Joe can take some time.
Awesome I will get in contact with him. Thanks both of you for the suggestion..
Might also want to make sure the existing pulley hasn't been modified. That ain't the original motor i'd guess. Might want to make sure buying an original m head pulley will even work without modification. If so, might want to just make a new pulley.
definitely not the original motor.. I will make sure the bore is the same..
