I picked up a old Craftsman lathe last week, model # 149.23871. I got it
pretty cheap and appears to work ok. turned a few spindles on it with no
problems.
I ordered the manual from Sears and it listed a faceplate with a order #
of
9HT23865. Sears doesn't carry this anymore and has no substitute for it. I
was wondering if anyone had one laying around they aren't using that
they'd
be willing to part with.

Couple of suggestions of 3/4. If so, get a fine and a coarse thread nut of
the same diameter and try. Then go to someplace like www.grizzly.com for a
suitable faceplate.
