That is a nice lathe! I ran one similar years ago and I loved that thing. I can still smell the way oil smoking coming off the parting tool!
I really like it too. It is powerful and does what i need it to do. I got it because I saw a classified ad for "Metal lathe" and thought it was going to be a bench top lathe. Got there and this thing was massive compared to what I thought it would be. Price was right and I bought it and loads of tooling, full collet set and the collet chuck. I have been leaving much of the tooling in the coolant pan to be able to keep them oiled up and not let them rust.
