JUST GOT DONE WITH THIS ONE TODAY. ITS A 1953 HEAVY 10 SOUTH BEND TOOLROOM LATHE. 10" X 28" CAP. YEAR BUILT 1953. SERIAL # 3140RKL9. 2 1/4-8 THREADED SPINDLE--1 3/8" SPINDLE HOLE--6" 3 JAW CHUCK--6" 4 JAW CHUCK--THREADING DIAL--NEW QUICK CHANGE TOOL POST WITH 5 BLOCKS--3/4 HP 220 3 PHASE--NEW CROSSLIDE NUT (.015 BACKLASH--NEW COMPOUND NUT (.015 BACKLASH)--2 MT LIVE CENTER--1/2" DRILL CHUCK. NOW A LITTLE HISTORY. CAME IN WITH A SCREWED UP SPINDLE SO I PULLED IT OUT AND REWORKED THE SPINDLE BEARINGS AND THE EXPANDER WEDGES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MAIN SPINDLE BULL GEAR WITH ONE I HAD FIXED. ALL THE TEETH ARE GREAT NOW. THE SMALL BACK GEAR HAS 1 BROKEN TOOTH IN IT. ALL OTHER GEARS IN THE THREADING BOX AND CHANGE GEARS ON THE END ARE FINE ALONG WITH THE 1/2 NUTS IN THE CARRIAGE. WHEN I PUT THE SPINDLE BACK IN I HAD TO SHIM THE BEARING CAPS LIKE THEY TELL YOU TO DO. I RAN THIS LATHE FOR OVER AN HOUR AND THE SPINDLE BEARING ARE FINE NOW THEY DONT HEAT UP. I ALSO PUT NEW TAGS ON THE THREADING BOX AND TOP COVER. THE WAYS ON THIS LATHE ARE BEAUTIFUL WITH NO RIDGE AT ALL. THIS IS A GREAT LATHE FOR THE MONEY. ITS BEEN CLEANED SANDED TAPED AND RESPRAYED BY ME AND MY PAINTER. VIDEO COMMING OVER THE WEEKEND. EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS. BUYER PAYS SHIPPING. THANKS KENNY RUMFORD SUPPLY & MACHINERY COMPANY INC.
