Lets try this again
This is my new South Bend 10" Tool Room Lathe (1952-53)
Serial No. 4236RKL11
Model No. CL8187A
4ft. Bed
Came with a 3phase 3/4 hp motor but i am swithching it to single phase 1hp
This is what it looked like the day i brought it home! Since it was produced in 1952-53 it appears to have been painted about 3-4 times... the last being the pale green, which obviously didnt hold up too welll! My plan is to tear the lathe down section by section and completely strip it and restore the lathe and make it shine again. wish me luck!
