Well I got the bottom end together only to find that I left out the thrust washer on first gear. So I had to press the cases back apart. Fun! They back apart and I got gasket surface cleaned up. I am busy the next few days but I hope to get this motor together next week.

In the meantime I got side tracked by getting this lathe (as well as a bunch of other projects).

Oooouuuh. Nice! Would love DRO on my little mini lathe and mill. Just tuned the lathe abit last week, and it still tuns out rough projects pretty well. Would love to go up in size and quality, though.

I got it 60% off due to the crate being busted, $1500 out the door. The chip guard is a little dinged up. The tool post handle is busted. Otherwise it seems to be perfectly fine. I cleaned it up and ran it for an hour or so last night. It's probably the best manual lathe I've ever used and I've only just started using it.

That lathe looks really nice.
