Apart from the centre hight and slightly different screwcutting gearbox controls the headstock, apron, saddle, topslide and tailstock look to be the same as the current Chinese made 1440 lathe offered by Warco and the Chester Challenger 1440, although apron controls may be left or right handed.
So it is possible that items such as some gears, feedscrews and feednuts from current 1440 machines will be usable, but only from similar 1440 lathes, but obviously there could still be small detail differences in components preventing direct replacement without some modification.
Not all new 1440 lathes are of the same design, some have different headstock, gearboxes, carriage assemblies and tailstocks.
Toolco also offer spare parts for 1440 lathes, although they haven't stocked the machines for some time.
