Hi gang
OK there are two face plates up on eBay right now and stay away from
them as I am going to win them. 7631116925 is one of them.
I have one more just like these here now and I am going to open
these up to Dalton spindle size. Now John Gland has spoke for one
of them but the other two will go to the first and second guy that
emails me telling me he wants one. These I think are wood working
face plates but are 6 1/4 inch in diameter and are just a little
lighter than an original Dalton but they will work just great.
The cost is what ever the face plates plus shipping and $35 for my
time to put the thread in them. These will be fit to one of my best
spindles so I know they will work on yours. 1 1/4 - 12 and will not
work on the TL except Todd Young's.
Todd has a very strange TL. First all the Dalton cast in letters
have been ground off and there was a flat sheet metal plate riveted
to the front of the bed covering the big cast Dalton TL letters
there. The spindle is 1 1/4 -12 not 1 1/2 - 8 like all the other
TL's If I remember right he has a odd serial number also. May have
been a prototype that was sold of or was made for some other company
that the tags have been lost from the lathe. The oiling chain that
carries oil up to the spindle is also different than all the other
ones we know of. I have been helping Todd with getting his lathe up
and running. He restores old tractors and little parade cars. Todd
lives in St Louis and he has a model T that is just like the one I
am working on for a niece.
Anyway take a look at the eBay auction and if you wont one of these
two providing I get them let me know.
Owe and I would not use anything under 1 1/2 inches for a test bar.
