Threading intimidation.

[Tb1988]

by the way, there should also be a serial number stamped into on top the bed at the tailstock end

Take that number and try a look-up here:

That will help establish the year it was built.
I have a CD of old Southbend info that with year and catalog number (22-YB) I can try to find the original catalog pages for it.

Wow, thanks that’s quite a bit older than I had imagined

Well I did it sort of. The grove of the thread isn’t a v it’s more flat on one side and a ramp on the other. It’s the correct tpi and a nut does screw on it. I’m guessing I had something not set up correctly

Figured out what I did wrong. I didn’t have my tool square to the work.

From "intimidated" to successful in about 8 hours. That's pretty good I'd say.

I was very shocked at how easy it was to be honest. Although that’s brass and not steel that may present some challenges.

Here's the 1928 catalog, however this version seems to have the pages in the wrong order......

Page 4 (pdf page 18 of 20) shows the 22-YB 9-inch Junior.

Keep having fun!
