Belt on Dalton B-4 owned by Andy Sargent
开云体育Hi Dennis,
?
? I can vouch for Andy's belts. He made me one and it works
incredible. I believe the width is 15/16" not 1" which makes a big difference if
your machine and countershaft are slightly miss aligned.
?
? If you're heading to NJ....I may know of a few other Daltons for
sale!

开云体育Hi Dennis,
?
? 19 lathes! I thought I was bad when I had 16! Good luck with the
museum, and the work, hopefully it'll all work out in the end. Trust me from
experience, OSHA likes to work it out...in the end!

开云体育Nice! Mine are Dalton, South Bend, Atlas-Clausing, Atlas, Craftsman, Logan
Powermatic, Blount, Weiler, Hardinge, Warner-Swasey, Magnaturn...and the list
goes on. I even have my Burke mill that I play with!

Are we sick people, or are they?

Hello everybody,
I have a quick question. I was on the Oldarn website when I came across pictures of Andy Sargent's B-4. What caught my attention was the belt on the unit. It is green and yellow. Here is the link... even though I think everyone has seen it . Is this still a leather belt with a felt like underside? Does anyone know where I could get this belt? The one on mine is making me a bit nervous. It seems that the staple or whatever it is has a rather large gap. Thanks for the help. Dan Lane |

开云体育Andy I know is really busy right now so I will
answer for him.? The belt on Andy's lathe is a composite of several
materials.? None of which I have any idea of what they are.? Andy came
across a vast storehouse of these belts a couple of years ago and has offered
them to anyone that needed a new belt.? A lot of us are using Poly V belts
or as the automotive industry calls them Serpentine belts.? Here is a
picture of a very compact drive setup I used on John Glands Dalton that I
rebuilt for him.? This drive is a little Atlas and a lot of home
brew.? Bottom line is its very compact and worked really well.? If I
remember correctly we had this lathe mounted on a 20 inch wide
bench.
?
On another note I will be leaving on the 19th for
the trip East to collect the Dalton up in Wisconsin and also the only known 9
1/2 by 48 in Oakmont Pa.? I will also be picking up some parts to another
one that Dave Kirk has been storing for me.? Not all sure what is left of
that poor Dalton after Dave got done ravaging it for parts for his
B-4."-))))

开云体育Hi Nick
?
Thanks but do you really think a guy with I think
19 Daltons needs any more????????????"-)))))))))? I just sold a very nice
one and it only left a very small hole in the Turk works storage
facility."-)))))?
?
This next winter I am really going to concentrate
on cleaning up the peddle Dalton and finish the restoration of Greg Fosmarks Lot
6 serial number 7014 and get it mounted on the cast iron cabinet that is already
done and sitting in my office at work.? I will wont to go to work on the 9
1/2 inch when I get back from my trip also.? The fellow I got that lathe
from saved it from the dump as he said he stopped by to see his mother and his
step father was trying to get it into a trailer so he could trash it.? Josh
is afraid that he has already disposed of accessories and parts that went to
it.? I have been invited to come over and look through all his grandfathers
junk to see if I can spot anything that belongs to the lathe.? Seams his
grandfather had a number of lathes and he is not sure what goes to what.?
That is if there is anything at all left.? He did say there was a drive for
it as he knew his grandfather used it but he said he cant seam to find the drive
now and fears it has been taken to the dump already.? Shame as there goes
the cone pulley.?
?
On another note the Turk works museum is under
renovation at Turk Mfg.? Business is a little slow right?now so we put
one of our guys to work cleaning up the 20 by 20 room that will be setup as a
little museum.? I was at work yesterday and Troy had it all scrubbed clean
and was repairing wall damage and masking things.? I did pick?up a
five gallon bucket of paint on the way to work so by the time I get
back?from the trip?East I should be able?to start moving machines
in and hanging some of my?collection of pictures of old machine shops and
line?shaft setups.?? In this room I will be able to setup some of
the machines that can run.? With the OSHA laws here in Oregon I have not
mounted any motors on most of the machines.? If they have a motor I either
dont have a cord on it or a drive belt.? Inspectors take a very dim view of
open belts even if you try and convince them its not a production machine.?
There comments is it could run and could be used so is unsafe.? Smack a
$25,000 fine.? With things setup as a museum then I will be able to run
some of them.? Machines like my Atlas and SB shapers can be run as they
have guards on them but not the open belt machines.? If anyone gets up to
the Northwest do stop by and pay us a visit.
?
My system guy has setup a new web site for Turk
Mfg. and in the near future there will be a link to the museum.? I will
keep you guys up to date as to when that happens so you can take a
look.

开云体育Unfortunately Nick Dalton lathes are not the only
lathes I have collected.? SB, Logan, Shedd, Champion, Atlas, Drummond,
Adept, Flexispeed ,Whitaker and Wilson and Star.? Not to mention the
shapers."-)))? So many machines so little time.

Hey Dan,
Yes I really do turn my computer on occasionally. ;-) Send me your shipping address and the exact length and width belt you need. I'll drop it in the mail to you. Don't be shy. Note to all - Some of you know that this is a free service to all Dalton owners. If you've got a Dalton that needs a belt let me know. Only the Dalton Gang gets perks like this! ;-) my email: andy @ sargent.net (remove the spaces - I just don't need the spam.) Oh - Here's one other reminder for everyone - If anyone knows of errors or omissions in the Dalton Owners List on oldarn.com, send me a note. I try to keep at least this list up-to-date. Cheers, - Andy Sargent |

Dear Andy,
Wow, Thanks! I don't have the lathe in my possession yet, but as soon as I do, I will get you the dimensions of the belt. I will also include some pictures. It seems to be in amazing shape.

I was thinking, 19 is such an odd number. You should up it to an even
20. :P Just kidding. Have fun!
