?

Hi there, this is the my first attempt in creating a new topic, hope I'm doing it correct.

My name is Andrea and I write from Italy, I recently bought a Dalton lathe that unfortunately has been very abused during his life... :-(?
I can't tell what model is it...no type or lot number on the right end of the ways, the only mark here is a number 5066.
Even if it has the clutch knob, it has the leadscrew without any keyway, so I think the clutch is useless.
The small Dalton seems to me a kind of Frankenstein.

It is missing several parts, screws, gears (including the spindle gear of the drive train) and some pieces of the tail stock assembly.
It seems that the previous owner started a restoration attempt disassembling it and loosing pieces :-(?

My challenge is to bring it back to life even if this will be a very long process as I can work on in only during my spare time in the weekend.

I started to scrape and clean some parts but I don't understand how to disassemble the back gear shaft.
I removed the two screws in the bottom side of the support/bearing , now one of the bearing rotates freely in the cast iron support but the other one seems stuck and the shaft doesn't move side way.

Any help here will be appreciated.

Thanks
Ciao

Andrea
