The gears look to be in good shape despite the condition of the oil they are bathed in. Good job on the stand.

nice stand but the oil I would have to say from the looks of it is pre 1900 and may need a change, gears look great thou as Ed was saying

There was a McDougall Lathe company that built a number of different machines , i think they were located in GALT ONTARIO CANADA.
My 1940 catalog lists lathes from 9x42 all the way up to lathes of 26" swing x 12Ft beds.
This lathe posted is a newer one than these for sure.

ATF is a very high speck oil
My colchester bantam used thin hydraulic oil (cos that was all they had back then)
I ran it on ATF with no problems at all
Even made finding the leaks easy
Be diffrent on a modern CNC running high RPM and load 24 / 7
