Re: Broken creeper gear
Looking at buying an older cub, seller states it runs, but creeper is broken. Could this be as simple as a broken roll pin on the input shaft or something internal. If the spirol pin hole is all wallowed out, I can weld, turn to the correct diameter and put a new hole in it. Here's one that I fixed...

Jess, Look for wear on the ways ( also gouges, grind mark or other impact areas ). Make sure everything moves freely ( as in not rusted fast ). If you can power it up, listen for nearing noises and make sure the power feed works. Pictures of the lathe would help a lot. I can be more specific if I kn...

I would go for the air over hydraulics. Makes life much easier. We just had an "incident" at work. "Bob" was using the press to straighten a weldment and didn't have it pressing straight down. He got "zapped" in the head and then it hit his hand. He got lucky and wasn't hurt too bad but did get stit...
