The spindel should run in brass or bronze and You can ajust the play. At my lathe it has 0 play (as mauch as it needed when it get warm. It is marvelous.

I will take a 0.75Kw e-motor with a FU.

For the leadspindel a will make one a e-motor also with FU.

And I changed the handel too.

By the way and the beginnig my lathe looks the same as Yours. It was not used for about 30years.

There is a grinding tool for attachment but this has to wait.

If all is finished You will get some pictures.

The gear (45mm) in the back of the spindelreduction lose 2 teeth.

Can You tell me what kind of gear this is (modul)?

And did You finsh Your projekt?
