Just wanted to share this picture and the story behind it. When i was a little boy man up street had this lathe bought it in 1939 and i would see it in his shop would be in the 50's in the 70's it sold then went to a shed open on two sides rain dirt i finely talked my friend into letting me to restore it took me most on the winter of 2018- 2019 to get it working (}man let me tell you something when u have to take change gears apart it is problem just saying() works good spent about 30 bucks to restore South Bend 9" 48" bed got a lot of tools attachments with it . I have good SB heavy 10 didn't need it but could not stand for to just rust away it is not for sale of course OLD STORY TELLER B.E.
