I have a Lathe CD that I put together that should provide you with the basics you need to run any lathe. This is best read or used on a computer as I scanned several of the manuals in grey scale so the images would be clear but others will print fine:

Another great book to get is a book by South Bend called "Projects" or something similar. You might try my search page here
http://lathetalk.com/ebay/index.html but EBAY seems to be having some issues lately with allowing those searches to work.
Good Luck!
