Things were too clean. A bit of belt dressing on the belt and the noise
all stopped. Now I can hear all the other noises.

The belt dressing is Gold Eagle 61498, bought from a local auto parts
store.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Thanks. And I do wish that the prior owners of this lathe had known at
least one machine-tool tech. Although it has been educational.

Now you are starting to become one. Makes the next one easier to
work on, now that you have started training your brain as to how
things work..but WHY they work..or dont....the priniples all being
alike

All true, at least I hope so.

But I think it would have been more cost-effective and time-effective if
I had gotten much cleaner machine from an expensive dealer. I've got to
have spent the difference already, and there are still things to fix.

Like the hydraulics - can't quite go to the slowest speed on the reeves
drive. Clausing says to take the upper hydraulic cylinder (at the speed
control wheel) apart and redo the seals, and I expect that they are
right.

On the other hand, even the nice machine from the nice dealer probably
will require something. But still.
