Welcome aboard!

I have a Southbend countershaft for my Dalton... Works just fine.

There's a picture of it before I got it up and running in the photo's
section, under "Tim Resch's B-3".

I'll try to get a current photo of it setup uploaded as a reference.

Cheers,

Thanks Tim, you just opened another door for me. I guess I have to keep searching places like Englishtown for the countershaft....there is a guy in Gilbertsville, Pa that has/had a ton of misc. lathe parts in a flea market there. Time for a road trip.

Hi Guys(and gals,
I just recently purchased a Dalton lathe at a estate sale and in
doing research found the site Oldarn, and Andy from there sent me here
to say hi. It seems like I made a good investment in my lathe, but I'm
missing the countershaft and motor. I can find a motor, but the
countershaft seems to be a challange. If anyone can help me out here
with any suggestions(about the lathe, NOT the ones my wife usually has
for me) they would be appreciated. If I can't find the countershaft, I
may have to shelve the machine and look for another one. I think she
deserves better than that though(the wife, that's another story.

Thanks for letting me babble here. I'll see if I can set up a album
with a few pictures, including the home made coutershaft attempt that
came with the lathe.

I have a thoroughly_exposed_to_the_elements

managed to escape
encrustation/rustation, and come to think of it

the

chuck did too. $75
+ shipping from central NJ. If anyone's

interested,

I could supply
further details/pictures, but contact me offlist
(not sure if I'm
receiving group mails right now). Thanks.

So I've been operating under the assumption that the tapers on my
lathe are Morse... The tailstock takes and holds Morse #2's very
nicely, plus the lathe came with the Morse fittings which is where
the assumption came from... The thing that is making me wonder a
little is when I tried to slide a #3 in the spindle, I got the sense
that it wasn't quite right... Now of course that might mean I just
need to ream it a bit to clean it up, but thought I'd ask if Dalton
was using one of the other tapers before I go and buy a reamer...

As a side note to Dennis, I got the plates fitting nicely now. Just
had to chase the spindle a hair for whatever reason... Probably a
slightly rolled thread I wasn't seeing. Thanks!

As I have quite a few of these parts sold, I will be disassembling my
machine and parting it out. You were very helpful, and informative. I
do greatly appreciate it. Sorry you thought " this guy " was angry. I
didnt meen to come off that way. I can run my machine, not very
extensively. but some. Thanks fella"s.

Hi Ron and Mike

OK I have a number of lathes here that are only good for parts. Let
me know just what all you need. If you wont a complete head stock or
just a casting with the bearing caps. If only the castings are
needed then I will dismantle two head stocks and strip the castings
glass bead blast them clean and put a coat of primer on them. That
way you only have to paint them to match our machine after you get
them. I will look and see if I have the shifters for these two head
stocks as they should go with them. the holes on the back of the
head stock were the shot pin engages was drilled on assembly and I
have found them to be quite different from head stock to head stock.
One other problem I have found is that as your bearings ware down and
you keep filing the split between the two bearing shells to keep a
tight spindle it starts riding lower in the casting. This throws the
head stock and tail stock aliment off. It can also cause a problem
with the end gears. I have had one lathe that the spindle was
sitting so low that the end gears rubbed even when in the neutral
position.

One thing we can do is you send me your head stock with shifter and I
will see what I can do to match up replacement head stock castings
the best I can.

Hi Mike

Boy your in for trouble as they were a matched set machined in

place and I have never seen any that would interchange. I do have
some extra parts so maybe changing out the complete head stock
casting would be the way to go. I have several complete head
stocks. Lot 4 and 5 are the same.

Turk.
