Join up over here , they have a SOuth Bend lathe specific form . In either the Sticky topic or the one below it for links should have a picture of the label of a can of paint mixed up at Sherwin Williams . The whole paint recipe is on the label in the pic . I used it when I redid my 9A . Great paint I went to a art store & bought some real good paint brushes to use & the paint is self leveling . I made the mistake of putting mine back together after a couple of days . When & if I ever decide to do it again I'll let it sit & harden for a couple of weeks . If you can't find the pic just ask & someone will pipe up with the info of where it's at . Great forum probably a couple thousand years of South Bend lathe experience there .
good luck , & remember pictures or it never happened .

I just bought my first lathe (9" 744 A 167045) and I have some questions. It is covered with surface rust, and the motor has been disconnected. 1) Does anyone have a wiring diagram to connect the motor (GE 5kc63ab776) to the barrel switch and a power cord? 2) Is the ILION rebuild kit and "Guide to Renovating" (Amazon $80) the way I should proceed? 3) What gray (It was originally gray right?) brush-able paint would you recommend? Thanks in advance,
