just logged in and saw your reply ... was timely reminder
This is one of my old units
I think this housing may be newer than yours. Excuse the morse taper ... think some wasp decided it was a good spot
and here is an over head
This other one is more like yours I think
backing up a little you can see it has a saw table on it
Here is looking in from the other end
They are both pretty well as purchased, both need to be restored.

Hi,I am also doing up a Herbert wood lathe,I am lucky I have all the bits but still need to get a morse taper that suits,a #1morse taper I think,any machine workshop should be able to turn a shaft,Mendham Engineering at Rocklea should be able to help. Cheers Alan.

Dave,
If you've done a few of these or can tell by inspecting it, do you know how I would be able to reverse the arrangement of the pulleys in the headstock of the Herbert Type C you posted pics of. I built a stand for it intending to reverse the orientation of the motor and hence need to reverse the pulleys so they line up small to large with the large to small pulleys of the headstock. Trouble is I can't see how the shaft can be removed from the bearings.
BTW, It looks like on the photo that your lathe only has only one pulley on the motor, is that correct.

Can you post a pic of you headstock again
I'm assuming your's is the one with a solid cat headstock enclosing the pulleys

it's the same unit as your pic no. 1 in your post #16 of this thread. You can have the motor mounted below or behind the headstock but you have to remove the shaft in order to replace the v belt so it must be easy enough to do. I think the flange at the right hand side of the stock is part of the shaft so you would have to drive the shaft out towards the bed side of the lathe but not sure. If the former is true though I somehow have to remove the conical shaped saw blade arbour on the other side of the headstock which is held on with a brass press fit bushing. I don't want to damage this bushing as I don't have a replacement.
