DRUMMOND LATHE RESTORATION MODS

Myford parts from ML7 etc will not fit.Totally different.Д«ut there is a Myford M-type that is the same machine as the Drummond M-type, so include that in your eBay searches. Welcome to the forum from another M type owner.Д«ack gear parts come up on eBay UK fairly regularly. Parts come up on ebay quite often, as in every day, and you can fit a Myford and some other topslides provided the height is low enough. Take a bit of time to look over this forum which has lots of threads about them and of course the .uk site. The M-type is the newest Drummond and there are lots around.

I will send a personal message with his details. I have bought a few parts from Keith Robinson in shefield you can try him.

DRUMMOND LATHE RESTORATION MODS

I have an M type like you and there are quite a few mods and bits I have done to ny lathe they ard in my albums for you to look at. My question is does anyone know where, if anywhere, I could purchase such parts or if I could take something off another lathe such as a myford? Or indeed does anyone have any parts knocking about in a spider invested corner of a garage somewhere they'd be willing to sell? I'm unlikely to be turning large diameter parts to warrant the back gear but I'd really like the thing to be complete. The previous owner had replaced the flat belt cone pulleys with v belt pulleys but in doing so seems to have removed the back gear. This thing is old - to give you some idea its still got the mount for a treadle on the stand although the actual treadle is lost in the mists of time.

I have recently picked up a Drummond type M in reasonable condition which I intend to restore to working condition however I'm currently missing a top slide and tool post, and the back gear assembly (although I think I possibly have the bull and small gears). Firstly let me confess I'm no model engineer - more a home motorcycle mechanic/engineer - but your forum was the only decent source of lathe related chat I could find so here I am!
