I think I know a guy that has Big Tiger 10-10 fuel about 35 miles away. I may run over and pick some up soon. Ralphbf.... where can you get a new belt "FAST" for a Harbor Freight Lathe? It seems just like Grissly, and a couple other brands of lathes. Mine is a #44859 8x12. I got to get a spare belt . If you cut in slower speeds....maybe a stretch-abe vacume cleaner belt will get you buy!!!! Capt,n
