Is it my eyes or is the headstock mounted backwards?

The headstock is not on the Way Tubes backward but the tailstock is in the wrong location (for normal lathe operation) and I would put the extension table where the tailstock is.
It may be there for reasons unknown to us.

as far as how things get mounted, I didn't have my manual handy. I will definitely get things mounted right.
thanks

Nope your seeing the handle like in drill press mode, which switches easily from side to side.
Scot I don't see that tail stock dead center, an arbor for the 5/8's hole saw blade, a coupler for STP's and hubs for the STP side of the headstock.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop. .

If he does not have any SPTs, he does not need the coupler nor hubs.
A spur drive center would be nice to go with a tail stock center.
FWIW, I always store the chuck key clamped in the jaws of the drill chuck.

A spur drive center wasn't sent to the original purchaser, but a dead center was.

So how did 'the original purchaser' get to use the lathe function?;)
