Is the apparent tilt of the threading dial axis actually there or is it some kinda distortion of the pic.
If so it appears to me to be tilted in the wrong direction. Both dials on my machines axis are 90° to the leadscrew.
I agree with dallen's thought, that the gear may have been cobbled up by a previous owner. Maybe long after cleaning out the chip pan the operator/owner noticed the original gear had fallen off.
