Just dropping back in for a quick update. Thanks again to everyone who commented, it helped a bunch.

Anyways I ended up deciding to just get an older used one off eBay, for only a little more than buying a bunch of adapters that would likely just be a pain to align correctly.

The new piece fits great, but it is quite a bit smaller.

Looks good. That other chuck and spindle might have belonged to a mill or turret lathe assembly.

Looking at your quill, evaporust is going to be your best friend. A couple hours soak and the rust will be gone. It'll leave a finish that'll match your new chuck. Pour it back into the bottle and use it again and again.

Your pix above illustrates the difference between a "hobby" drill chick and a rugged pro model.

Ya oughta see my 20N chuck and it's key.

I think you will be happy with the cushman chuck.

I think you will be happy with the Cushman Chuck you now have. Although not as "beefy" looking as the #14 Jacobs Chuck it still has the 1/2" capacity and since it goes directly on the Shopsmith Spindle it will be a lot less frustrating than trying to adapt the #14. Depending on when your Mark V was made the Cushman Chuck may have been the original type of chuck that came with it.
