I have a very old ML7 no gear box, no cross feed, no coolant. I am thinking
of changing it but with what ? About same size but with gear box and cross
feed, also would like to take bigger cuts. Any suggestions welcome

In order of likelyhood:-
Boxford AUD
Colchester Student
Colchester Bantam
Super 7B with cross feed
Conny Sewer
Hardinge HLV(-H if you can get it))
Probably lots of others.
Whatever comes up on fleabay/goindustry/etc that looks to be acceptable
Regards

RTFM

I'm very happy with my Emco Maximat V10, which replaced a Super 7.
Little bit larger, longer bed - and a simple mill attachment.

Harrison L5?
Colchester Chipmaster, if you can find a good'un, especially if the variator
works. In fact, unless it's been rebuilt with a variable speed motor, it's
essential that the variator works. very nice little lathe though, if in
working order.
The student is a bit big, compared with a Myford.

They are *all* a bit big compared with a Myford. A Myford will fit
comfortably on a tabletop - the rest won't.
