I just bought a South Bend 13 inch lathe

Thank you dlane. I did not get the refurbish book. But I did put new felts in it . There were no set screws in those holes when I got the machine. I will put set screws back in those holes.
 
The felts get old and crusty and don't supply oil to the critical parts very well when old.
The refurbish book is very worthwhile , they are on eBay , search South bend 13 refurbish
 
You certainly got a deal no matter what you need to fix on it... congrats. Your mill has company now.

Welcome to the best machinist site on the net. If you don't think so just ask we all are willing to help , no question is wrong . You did real good on the deal and your paint job looks great. Wish I could find a little bigger lathe in that price range too. My eleven inch logan at times is just not enough power. It does great for its size tho.
