Which exercise can I substitute for Lat-Pull downs using free weights? I don't have any machines in my house, but I have an olympic bench (set), dumb bells, and a curling bar.

Wide grip pull ups on a door jamb or bar? Other than that... I dunno. That's the one machine I still use regularly since I can only do 6 pullups consecutively and don't think that there are any other exercises that sucessfully reproduce that movement.
In theory, you could create a small makeshift pulley system with dumbells or whatever you have handy...

I hadn't thought of pullovers... good call. :) Another possibility is to hang resistance bands off of something (door, tree etc) and pull down.
