Rick I have the?first lever operated tailstock?found way back in 2003 when I went to Susanville Comifornia?and picked up the first pedal lathe found.? I have all the history on? that lathe.? It is also one I have never restored. I believe there is one more lever?operated tailstock?out there I think. For you guys that have never used one of these kinds of tail stocks Dalton had the very?best one though SB as well as Atlas made one they just did not work as nice as Daltons.

One other little bit of information about the overhead drives Dalton built.? These drives were used on all m models?of Daltons except the TL as it had a different?design drive if ordered with the overhead setup.? So the silent chain drives were very large and looked huge when mounted on the little Lot 4 or Lot 5.? Nots so much on the Lot 6 or Dalton 9.? The overhead drive you see in my video is mounted on a Lot 6 but is the identical drive to what is on Ricks Lot 5.? Dennis.

Rick if you ordered your Dalton with the overhead drive and for bench mount you got the much larger bed feet to support the large weight up high. I had a set of these but both had been broken and poorly welded?back together.? Gray Pilgrim now has that lathe..? Or AK Bart, another Oregon Dalton owner:-))))) The pictures show what this lathe looked like when? I picked it up in San Francisco.? This lathe was given to me all I had to do was pick it up.? As you can see this lathe has the third version of the overhead drive that Dalton built.? What is missing is a large guard casting that covers the two silent chain drives.? There was a gear setup at the end of the motor shaft where you shifted gears for reveres. The motor shaft had one sprocket?for the silent chain and also a gear for driving the reverse?setup. It was like the other two drives way over engineered and was?complicated and prone to lots of noise?and wear.? Also these overhead derives?coast as much as the lathe did.

This lathe also has larger bed feet a draw bar for the headstock and the lever operated tailstock.?

Picture was taken in the front entry of Turk Mfg. Hillsboro Oregon where it was displayed with many other machines that I have restored.

If you have looked at the photo of my later model Lot 5 you will note the clutch lever is now located differently.? This drive only has one clutch for on and off function.? The motor is operated by a large forward reverse?switch mounted on the back side of the drive vertical column?and is operated by moving the wood handle you see on the back side of the lathe.? It's a bit odd that not only did the drive have a clutch but the motor start stop and reverse function was controlled by a switch.? Answer,? The clutch freed?up the countershaft from the silent chain and motor making it easier to rotate the spindle by hand for setups. This lathe was found at the very tip of the ponisia that runs North from Green Bay up into lake Michigan.? Was owned by a retired teacher that had had it for over 50 years but had never set it up to run in all that time.? He said he did move it three times in the 50 years.? So for sure this lathe has not cut a chip in over 75 years.

Hi Rick

Your Lot 5 is equipped with the first generation?overhead?drive.? I see you're missing the little disk that gave you access to adjusting the clutches.? My 1917 Lot 6 also has this drive but I have an early 1922 Lot 5

with the next version of the overhead drive that Dalton built.? PIcture included.? If you have run your lathe you will? note the noise?that comes from the silent chain drive.? I have always found the name?silent chain kind of funny as they are noise?as heck.? My Lot 6 is as close to brand new as one could possibly find and it's?still noisy.? Dennis
