I picked up a basket case 109 on ebay as a nostalgia project.?
Model 20630.? my first lathe was a 109 and i sold it when i bought
my Logan.? i suddenly got a notion that i wanted one again after
watching Hand Tool Rescue rebuild on on youtube.? This pile of
parts was rusty and the previous owner gave up on the rebuild, but
i am going to get it done.? i already have broken down the 3 jaw
chuck and spindle that were really stuck together.? Now i am
working on the tailstock.? The tailstock ram is wedged in very
tightly by the spindle keyway screw and, probably, some rust.? i
gave up on trying to get the spindle keyway screw out
nondestructively after soaking in penetrant, heat, and easy out
failed to get it unstuck.? I basically put it on my mill and
routed most of main body of the screw and am now easing some
smaller drill bits down to get the pin out.? i am hoping to save
the original threads in the tailstock body but my back out plan is
to drill it out larger and thread for a larger screw.? But my
question is:
Can anyone post the original dimensions of this screw for me??
Thread pitch, length, and how long the pin is and its diameter.?
It would be part number A3456 in the manual.? I would appreciate
it.??

I believe that it is an AA-109 Sears lathe
made by Dunlop. I paid $300 for one (Too much in retrospect)
as even in new shape they have many faults. Otoh they do cut
metal albeit slowly. Do not overload the back gearing and be
careful of digging in the toolbit as you can bend the spindle!
Perhaps a good cheap starter??? Bill in Boulder CO USA

New to group! Looking for a “0” MT (1/2” diameter) tailpiece ram. It’s the last thing that I need to get my lathe (109.60230) up and running. Been checking on Ebay, but, nothing has been posted, unless I want to buy another whole tailpiece again. Thanx for any help you folks can give me.
|
I printed a set for a friend. I think he got the specs from Mr. Petes youtube page. Google Mr. Pete and then the 109 lathe to see what you can find.
|
Has anyone used the metric threading chart in the files section? I am trying to set my lathe up for 1.75mm pitch and can't quite figure it out. I think that I need to put an idler gear in there, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. I know that there has got to be a simple solution, but my little brain can't seem to get it.
Thank you!

Bill, ? I am pretty sure that the manual that you referred to was on Yahoo and therefore is on groups.io.? And it was and is also in Files on the Atlas-Craftsman group. ? There are also all of the drawings that Lionel Weightman did some 20 odd years ago.? And a few more things.? However, the drawing for converting one of the AA lathes to a 3/4”-16 spindle are not there. ? There are, or were, four total of the AA-built lathes.? We have fair or better copies of the Sears manuals on the first three.? The fourth one, which was roughly equivalent to either the Atlas 618 or the Craftsman 101.07301 (I do not know what kind of spindle bearings it had), I have only ever seen one early photo of.? AFAIK, no more information on it has turned up. ? ?

First, thank you Penn and Wishbone. Penn stuck with me until I realized the error of my thinking about how the gears and drive worked. It doesn't appear?that my shaft is bent, a good thing, nor do the bushings appear to be worn. My next question is, the info keeps mentioning a face plate. I don't seem to have one. I have 2 chucks, a 3-jaw and a 4-jaw and both just screw onto the shaft. Do I need a face plate? Then one more question--what is the smallest diameter of the step pulley that came with these? The only one I have starts out pretty big, compared to the ones I see in photos. Oh, and I'm still looking for a maintenance/repair manual. I've looked through all the files shown and find lots of good information but no real manual for assembly, maintenance and repair. Was one ever made?

Thanks for relieving my mind about that face plate. To be honest, at this point I have no idea whether I'll even end up having any use for this lathe. I figured since I have it, I ought to at least get it all in one piece and see whether it appeals to me. I'm
in a getting-rid-of mode, somewhat, although my wife says she thinks I have one of every tool known to man. I don't tell her about the duplicates. But my shop area is very cramped so another benchtop thing is going to have to prove itself to me.
Yes, I did mean the motor pulley. But I notice the gear that attaches with a set screw, A-3221, Spindle gear I believe, does not seem to sit in line with the other gears in that train; I can move it out to where it does, but then the shaft does not come flush
with the face of the gear. Which matters--gear alignment or shaft insertion, or is there something wrong that it doesn't align right?

Howard,?
You only need a face plate if you want to do turning between centers or for fastening odd shaped work to the lathe.? The 3 and 4 jaw chucks will handle most of your needs.
Are you asking about the motor pulley.?
In the group files section, there is a folder called manuals.? In there is a file called "Operating Instructions and Parts List for Craftsman Lathe " it has an exploded view diagram, parts list, and basic adjustments. That is about the only specific manual
for these lathes. For repair and maintenance you'll have to find a general lathe manual. The internet has many.?

Mark,
If you go to "/g/AA-109-Lathe-Group" to view messages, on the left side of the page are links to Photos, Files, Databases, and more.?
Click on files then the files.zip and you will find tons of information.
