Yes, I was just thinking about that. I will try to video it. Will prolly do a voice over on the video, cause Im sure its going to sound like a porn with all the grunting.

Well I just removed the gearbox and I think I got it down to the point where four people can just man handle it. It is still bolted to a skid so I can forklift it onto a truck. If Dabbler is still fine with me using his engine hoist then I can use that to offload into my garage. Then just four...

Well at least everyone seems to agree on 32 in the headstock which is my biggest concern right now. The Apron and gearbox can be removed and transported without being drained.

I guess a note on temp. Everyone is worried about a cold canadian winter.... so they prolly have a cold shop. This is going in my basement....so...... 21c all year.

OH, there it goes again!

ok, so 32 everywhere :) and I have seen that the headstock takes about 7L. Anyone know roughly how much is needed in the gearbox and apron? And Thanks Tom, I didnt think about PrincessAuto for the oil. Their AW32 in a 5Gal pail is going for 39.99 right now.

Thanks yet again Dabbler This is exactly the info I am looking for. Do you use that in both headstock and gearbox? Why do some say 32 in the headstock and 68 in the gearbox?

Maybe this one? https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/cx709-lathe.889/

I know this is a touchy subject as everyone has an opinion on this and they all think their idea is the best.... but.... which oil would I use in the headstock, gearbox and apron? and where can I get it in Calgary at a reasonable qty?/Price?

Appreciated I just stripped it down to just the headstock, gearbox and bed....... and Im not going to lie..... Im scared to move this.... I really dont want to move it:)
