    Default MC 1018 drive belt replacement

    Two questions
    I am replacing a shredded drive belt on a mini lathe model MC1018
    (belts don't like the harsh conditions up here in darwin as compared to southern highlands nsw)

    First question
    where can I get a couple of replacement belts?

    second question
    how do I get this lathe apart to fit the drive belt? see picture attached
    i have removed hand brake, taken pin out of pulley - what next?

    thanks

    Default Timbecon MC1018

    This is a timbecon lathe so they should be able to supply the belts.

    There is a couple of circlips in the head stock that need to be removed for you to get the shaft out.
    Have a look here on page 21 of the parts list

    I think it is most generous of Jim Carroll to offer help on a lathe that some consider inferior, and that Jim does not sell.

    Thanks Jim.

    That helpful attitude is what makes this such a great site.
    So much timber, so little time.
