Hardinge 37 lathe

[7mag]

Picked up an old Hardinge 37 last week. I was told it is from 1948. Uses 3C collets and a 7" swing. Got a good price for it and local pick up, so I can live with the 3C spindle.
I have a nice 4" Bani chuck that I think will work good on this little lathe. Wish me luck.

Nice find!! What's the taper on the spindle nose?
