Heck yeah that's a nice haul! Look at all those accessories and parts still present. I thought it was forbidden to sell a used machine without taking the valuable stuff off first. They even let you keep all the knobs!

Someone on this site will end up with a beautiful Atlas lathe ! I'm going to put my efforts into the Clausing , the BP and the SG . Being I will now be in my garage which is not climate controlled , a lot of my precision stuff will be finding a new home . I'm not in the need to make parts other to keep the tractor herd moving . Last time I had the Lagun FTV-2 in the garage I lost it , lol , not really , but it got buried with all the other stuff . I am planning on not letting this happen again . We'll see how it goes . And , if anyone would just happen to need a 22 ton jack , come see me ………………..really , 22 tons . Gotta wonder what the heck they were jacking . 
My in-laws used to own a Prevost motor coach; 45 ft. long rock star tour bus. It weighed about 50,000 lbs. and had at least 12 lugs on each wheel torqued to 600 ft. lbs. I recall him having a 20-ton floor jack that weighed about 350 lbs.Someone on this site will end up with a beautiful Atlas lathe ! I'm going to put my efforts into the Clausing , the BP and the SG .

Well, it isn't a metal working tool, but I just gotta crow. I had delivered today a Foley Belsaw, model 910 with several extra knives. Much more stable than the current crop made out of plastic and chinesium. And a little bigger, too. Takes a 20A240V circuit to run it. I have lusted after one of these since at least 1974. And with the manufacturer not listed any more, had just about given up on the idea. But, I got one now. I know I need to be crowing on a wood working site, but I come here most times instead.
I do thank y'all for listening; and tolerating me.

Yeah, well, I figured since it was a woodworking machine, nobody would be that interested. I do have a couple of pics from the CL adverts; included below. If woodworking machinery were to be included in my holdings, I could chew up at least as many pages as I would for metal working machines. About the only thing lacking is a decent size shop, it's kinda crowded here. The big deal to me is that there's no plastic, except rollers & the like. Good ole USA steel.
