Re: quick change gearbox questions
m. allan noah
You don't have a workshop lathe, you have the older, heavier, wide-bed 'Series O' 9" lathe. In the late 30's, this lathe was improved (Series R, S, T etc) and had its swing raised to make the Heavy 10 (aka 10R and 10L). My understanding (though I have not measured it), is that the location of the leadscrew was moved away from the bed during these updates, so the Heavy 10 gearbox will not work. You would need a gearbox from a similar era 9", which unfortunately looks really similar to the Heavy 10.

quick change gearbox questions
Periodic maintenance begets upgrades, as they do.? I've had my 1926 9" workshop(?) model B 4 foot for about eight years, and have been upgrading things as needed.

Which QC boxes fit this lathe? I think that the ones up through the 30s fit, but I'm unsure. I looked for a cross-referance/interchange chart for the different generations & models; looked at catalogs, forums, advertisements and anything even remotely related to what parts from later lathes can be fitted to the 20s-era ones. I never use the last foot of lathe bed, so could get by with shortening the lead screw if I can't find the appropriate one. Any guidance is appreciated. If you have one for sale, let me know. I"m fine if it needs to be cleaned or refurbished. I enjoy doing it. Neil In case I'm mis-labeling my lathe, here are photos from the last time it was clean - when I built the table for it in 2017. The table is more colorful now, but too dirty & cluttered to get good photos. |

Model A Table Top in South New Jersey
My Uncle, who used to be on this list, passed away last year. His wife is clearing out his storage and I toured it today. I spotted this lathe, and took some pictures. It's in rough shape and the motor is not connected. Photos attached.
Here are the specs that I could glean: Model A Catalog No (hard to read)4-R Bed length: 4 1/2 Serial Number: 106, 490 Additional stamp: USN Propery Cont No BS-909 I do not live near the lathe, so if there's interest, I'll get you in touch with the owner. There is a sale coming, but I don't have the date yet and I thought this group might be a better place with more interest. No price is set. Contact me directly (hillkid@... (mailto:hillkid@...)). I have a spam filter, so either follow the return instructions or text me that you emailed me at 301-928-0728. |
