    Very nicely done LMMM. Very heavy duty and beautiful finish.

    I did the same to my 9x20, but I cheated and used the kit LittleMachineShop sells for the smaller lathe 7x's. I also didn't put the nice outboard bearing, just figured the cast iron would be good enough and was using the eccentric shaft that came with the kit and it wasn't that long. Also cheated on the handle and used one off my mill/drill that I don't use anyway. I had to mill more off the tailstock casting than you did but it works fine and is way better than having to use a wrench!
