Hello - I own a Dalton T-L. The stamped letters and numbers on the right end
of the rear way appear to be T-L NO 202 or 292. I am hoping to share
information and learn from the discussions here. I inherited this lathe from
my father who bought it from a local machinist sometime before I was born in
1946. It still runs and is used occasionally by myself for small projects but
needs some repair and cleaning. My first attempt to do repair work to it has
been to change the drive belt which quickly taught me that I knew next to
nothing because I can't even figure out how to remove the old belt (short of
cutting it apart) or how I would install a new one. The old belt is a V belt
rather than a flat belt. It has drive pulleys made for V belts so I'm guessing
the original pulleys (for flat belts) were replaced? Or did some of the
Dalton T-L's use V drive belts?
Thank you for allowing me to join your group.

You will be much better off posting on a web site forum, such as
https://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/forum/general

RCM was once go-to for machining, but it has lost its glory, sadly.

Some Lathes were real buggers, needing considerable disassembly for
belt replacement...

You can get adjustable length belts nowadays for not too much money and
may get you going again without all the extra work...

Sorry, don't know a darn thing about Dalton Lathes, but if the existing
belt is really bad, and you need to get going right away a link belt
might get you by. I've had mixed results with link belts myself, but
they always work for a while.

Although my South Bend lathe was made in 1965, the 1914 edition of "How to
Run a Lathe" describes nearly all of its features.
