Hello again!

So, I had previously written about my Delta 46-700 lathe running
really warm, to the point where I would pull out an MT2 adaptor from
the headstock and have to bounce it in my hand like hot toast because
it was so warm - not scalding, just very very warm.

Replaced both headstock bearings, lathe ran much quieter, but not much
cooler.

Got in today, replaced the belt, and as I was doing so, I noticed that
the adjusting side of the motor pulley was a bit loose. REALLY loose.
Wobbly. It turns out that the sleeve bearing and pulley were very
worn, to the point that metal shavings were coming off. There's a good
millimeter of material missing from the brass inner sleeve thingy, and
I'm sure some material is missing from the pulley as well. Also, the
plastic bearing cover that puts pressure on the pulley from the speed
control lever was pretty rocky looking, a few cracks and other
questionable areas.

Fired it up, and watched as that pulley wobbled several degrees from
parallel with the other side. This strikes me as perhaps not a normal
Reeve's drive feature, would that be an understatement? I'm sure that
metal chewin up other metal is a bug, not a feature.

I've ordered the parts, hopefully they will arrive soon. I'm sure
there will still be some warmth as the sealed bearings break in, but
things should be running a lot smoother real soon.

Once again, thanks all for your help!

Mark
