Yes but it needs to be 'away' from the headstock or it will 'get in the way'.wiredone wrote:Yeah got a few of those as well, but I think the tailstock is the best bet.

Main shaft to way tube distance(7 1/2" c-c) limits an upper pulley to <15".
So without a jack shaft, min ratio is less than 10(175rpm with 1 1/2" motor pulley).
Power is from the motor up through the list to the main shaft.
So much for cursory thinking!:D
WOW! That is quite a comprehensive list! MAny thanks, sir. You truly deliver. From some of the other comments, and the fact that I have a second 10ER (in pieces), I think I can use the bits and pieces to make a sturdy frame mount, and your information to put the transmission together. I was at a farm supply house today, and noticed gearing and chain, I might take a look at that rather than belts, the price seemed to be in line with the belt and pulley setups, and if I use an idler, I can just change gears in order to change speeds.
thanks agian to all, I'll update as I make progress.
