The number on the bed is the serial number.
 
I looked at the chart and couldn't finure it out. I talked to a guy with logan and all the info I got was 1941 MW
 
OK guys, as we all know, no pics, never happened. ;) Mike
 
If you talked or conversed with Scott Logan in writing, and all he told you is that it was a Montgomery Ward machine manufactured in 1941, it is likely that it is the only information he has on it.
 
Logan would not know who the original owner of a Montgomery Ward machine was. Since it was 1941, Monkey Wards only listed two metal lathes in the catalog. The "deluxe" model has roller bearings in the headstock and power cross feed.

Check out page 18: http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/657/847.pdf

So if it's roller bearing with power cross feed I believe it is a W 700 if it's plain bearing W701
