Measure the spindle thread diameter and pitch (Number of threads per inch) and I will see if I can make you a chuck. It usually costs between $75 and $100 for the headstock chuck. I probably have the rest of what you need also.

It's a 3/4-10 solid spindle.

Chris thanks for replying, I don't have the lathe yet because I didn't think I could get parts as it is old and cheap price ($100). I will see if its still available tomorrow now that I can get parts..thanks again Jeff
