I just bought a South Bend 13 inch lathe last weekend for $500.00. A friends friend is battling cancer and wanted it out of his basement. It came with (2) 3-jaw and a 4-jaw chuck, a face plate and 6 milk crates full of tolling (tool bits, centers, drill chucks, drill bits, indicator and more). The serial #138240. I had to take it apart to get it out so it is in pieces at the moment. I plan to clean and repaint it and maybe some day take the time to restore it. If anyone has any info or were to find more info I would appreciate it. Not sure if I need any parts yet. But I would like to find the red plate on the out side of the headstock belt cover (is there one on the inside also?). Is it a lot of work to add the large dials? I have been a machinist and restorer of cars for 30 years so this will be a nice addition to my Bridgeport at home. I will post some pics after I put it back together.
