Take a look at Ebay. OzarkWoodWorker has parts manuals for about $20 shipped. This will give you all the parts list and numbers to order by.

I measured my lathe same model as yours. Both ends use a #2 morris tapper. Grizzly tools has a kit that would have what you need for both ends i will past the link below.

Be careful on that thing. After you get your new parts installed and try your first turning, run it in a couple of quick bursts to check for imbalance and to make sure the piece doesn't come loose. Also be very mindful of the loose nut at the controls. ;D

Here's a link to a place I've gotten obsolete parts before.
