the above site has a manual for your lathe. I have one also and use it often, but recently tried to turn a large bowl on the outboard side and noticed the shaft is bent a bit, so have been looking for a replacement part and I found this site. Sears no longer has the part I'm looking for, it was made in 1948. Hope this helps you.
