Default Jacobs Chuck Search

Hi all:

I have a Rockwell Beaver 3400 36 inch Lathe. It has a 7/8 14 THD S.A.E.
STD thread in the headstock and I am looking for a Jacobs chuck to go on
that. I have a chuck which goes into the tailstock but that requires me
to push the spinning wood into the stationary drill bit and I would like
to do it the other way around if possible. Is there a way to convert
(adapt) my current chuck to go into the headstock or does anyone know
where I can buy another one that will work?

Thanks in advance.
