On the bearings, I buy a lot of KBC bearings from Accurate Bearing Co in Chicago. Actually have an order pending now for some 16 in south bend cross feed thrust bearings. If your interested in price let me know hopefully today. I could add them to my order and have them shipped to you. I think you'd be looking at about $20 each based on what I know about motor bearings. Dimensions would be best. Have used thousands of KBC bearings and never had a failure. My 16 has a 3 phase 2 speed motor, if your still looking for motor info let me know and I will get it for you.

Does it have a rear shaft? If so there should be a centrifugal fan on it with a shroud to direct the flow from it over the fins.

I bought a Southbend 16 about a year ago. I'm pretty sure the motor is original. No adapter plates were used. The Make and Style number match my motor tag. Someone didn't record the serial number though.

Also, my serial number is 159,460. I purchased the build sheet from Southbend. According to that, my lathe shipped 6/4/1945.
