I think I'd call Clausing and see if they have the parts, or at least modern part numbers.? Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

Once you have part numbers you can order from anyone, anywhere. I am sure they have bearing shops in the UK. I was able to find such places in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Germany when I was in those countries.? I wouldn't be surprised to find the correct bearings are obsolete. But there should be cross-reference charts that will help you find the the new versions.?? You're in the UK , so this should be familiar to you: https://www.lathes.co.uk/atlas/page12.html It mentions that the Craftsman lathes (also made by Atlas) used oilite bearings rather that the cage bearing.

That's why I suggested OP call Clausing. They will know what the OEM part numbers are. Though since he lives in the UK, Tony might know at lathes.co.uk there have been a couple of authorized copies.

Please note that the part numbers marked in the Atlas manuals ARE NOT real part numbers from manufacturers. They are simply a part number code created by Atlas to track which part fits each machine.?
Once you identify the Atlas part number, Clausing can tell you what is the manufacturer's SKU or part number, then you can cross reference to 21st century parts that are currently available.
Pain in the butt, but it is better than a non-working machine.?

With a little help you should be able to build a new countershaft. Which, of course, would be easier if you have access to a second lathe. I get the impression that model engineers are pretty common there, though that could just be my selection of reading material... Would it be reasonable to ask of local acquaintances if someone? could make a new modified countershaft for you? Or are you the only person you know with a lathe?? Bill in OKC? William R.

@Bill in OKC too .... there are lots from cheep and cheerful to eyewatering second mortgage however my bearings measure an internal id of 0.771" an od of 1.104" and a width of 1.472" approx.? i did manage to find one with the correct od near enough but the width was 7" and the id was? over 2.5". i will email clausing and see if they can give me a part no.? that is recognisable or at least the proper dimensions.

@Nelson... I have watched all of joe's videos on his restoration they have come in handy when im putting stuff back together. and how things should look.? However my shaft is hardened so cant really be turned down easily.? Also it has the threads on the ends for the grease cups where as his had grease nipples.?

On another forum (Home shop machinist) it was suggested that "caster bearings" may work for the countershaft.
