    The best method that I've seen is a 3:1 IPA to essential wintergreen oil mixture to soften rubber. Problem with brake fluid is over time, the rubber will "sweat" out the brake fluid. The other method IMO, is more permanent, but more expensive.

Disgraceful when you think about it. Plastic parts are cheaper to make, break down faster/or more often and the lawnmowers cost same if not more than the mowers made back in the day using non plastic parts.

    You need to do a part 2 and may be even part 3 on this lathe because there is a lot more to cover, I have had this same lathe now for over 4+ years and cannot really complain if you do the adjustments change the spindles bearings to angular contact bearings lap the bed in you will get many years of work out of the lathe, I have not changed the plastic gears at all after 4+ years they are still running well today and I use this lathe every day making parts from all types metals, if people are breaking these gears they are doing something wrong, also the other job I found needs doing is remove the motor pull it apart clean the chips out and they do fill up with a lot of chips, of Couse that is going to short the motor out, and then fit some fly screen or similar to the vents on each end, I have worked out this is why the motors burn out before the end of their life as many people have complained about a very simple fix. 👍👍
