-You did a GREAT JOB on it. I wish mine looked so good.Brett And the paint, boy mine is SB gray If I do this I well have to go PINK that is because there is a green one and some likes blue. Or may be red Brett

If you are e-mail me hurt@... We can share are big bobos on what we have done Brett

I totally dismantled my 9" SB and took it to a local engine rebuild shop to have it cleaned. The use a Caustic Dip tank which is pre heated to about 110 F. All the parts where put in the tank and left overnight. This process will remove every oz. of paint and dirt to a perfect bare metal surface for painting. See a picture attached of the tank. NOTE: If you do this with your lathe DO NOT put the three back gear cover pieces in the tank. They are made of aluminum and will devolve. Also remove your brass name plates because the red paint will be gone. In the first to pics you can see all the parts laid out on the bench. A close up shows how clean they are. Total cost was $42.00 to do. Next I plan to paint the lathe with Armor Rust Paint. I have picked a dark green color. Should look nice. I will keep you posted of my progress.

Great I would paint it with Rustolm there industarl stuff they sell. They mack a paint that is for this kind of stuff.Ho a I can not spell at all.I paint every thing with there red primer.It will stand up very well . I used to be a engine rebuilder and we painted the inside of the engines with the red primer.This is what I would do if I was doing what you are.Brett

This is my Model A, 9" Lathe I purchased from Ebay. It cost me $450.00 USD. Came with 3 Jaw, 4 Jaw, live center, drill chuck. Has Power crossfeed, quick change gearbox and lots of dirt.......... Has optional two speed counter shaft for a total of 12 speeds. All I need now is a Face plate and steady rest. Anyone got a spare ? My plans are to dismantle the lathe and take it to a local engine rebuild shop and have the metal parts put in the engine degreasing tank and then rebuild and paint it back to a like new condition. I will keep you all posted on the progress. Jim Visit my Genealogy Home Page. http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/kestrel/gene.html Researching: Bennett,Burry,Taylor,White.

You have the big diales I pad a lot to put those on mine. Brett In Bakersfied CA.

I have changed the title of this group from 9" SB's to include a SB's. This was due to the requests I have had to include guys who are bigger than 9" (Or wish they where). Let welcome them to the group and hope they do not bragg to much about size. Jim

This is great I can put picture on this thing the frist one I have ever do hope you like it Brett

Does anybody know of a source for the thick felt that is used way-wipers on the carriage as well as the felt used as wicks on shafts? I hate to even call SBL for a price at this point. I'm in the process of de-gunking and repairing my SB and I'm missing a couple of the way-wipers. One screw was broken off, but fortunately there was enough of a nib sticking out I was able to use a small nail-set and a small hammer to carefully unscrew the broken screw. I'm glad I didn't have to drill and tap! Thanks, Paul R. Hvidston Upland, CA

Paul, SB is acutally reasonable on the wicks for the shaft and tailstock. Cost was $3 per foot and a foot is a lot of wick, like would last you a lifetime. Its a round felt solid rope about 3/16 dia. you cut it to length and push it into hole then put oil cap back on. big tom

OK latest on my research on oils that match the viscosity etc of SB rec oils, Types A, B, C and way oil. First the good news/bad news, I found via a local Shell Oil products dist Vitrea oil, type 22 matching SB Type A, type 32 matching type B and type 68 matching type C. Unfortuneately it only comes in 55 gal drums. Someone may have a source for smaller amts, but these Shell Oil products match the SB specs, too bad they appear to only be available in 55 gal drums. I did find that MSC, Industrial Supply Co., 1-800-645-7270, www.mscdirect.com carries 1 gal containers of Velocite no. 10 which equates to SB Type A as was mentioned in a recent email posting, price is $10.65/gal. They also have Vectra 2 which matches SB type C, the most commonly used oil on my 13" lathe for $11.55/gal. Have not located a source for type B which is used in the quick change gear box. big tom

This great web page gives all the spindle data and sizes for most metal lathes. Can help you cross referance to see if checks from one manufacture will fit your lathe.

Go to your email program and send an email to "southbendlathe@...". Attach your picture to the message using the attach function. When you send the email it will show up here with your picture. Hope this helps. Jim --- In southbendlathe@..., hurt@l... wrote: > Iam pc haddy caped you see I can not spell eather Brett. that is way I > have spell check

I use 90wt grear oil on the gears on my A model. On spindle oil is Velocete NO. 10 and NO.2 way oil. On the pully stuff I took off the oilers and made a grease fitting and grease it works great SOuth Bend would role over and die but what the heack it was made in 1940 and I do not know what every one used on may machine before I got it.

I see you guys are doing the old leather belt stuff. I JUST WENT OUT TO MY AUTO PARTS STORE AND GOT A SURPTEIN BELT THAT THEY USE ON CARS. AND PRESTO NO MORE BELT PROBLEMS. IT WORKS GREAT AND ONLY SPENT $23.00. THEY ARE ALSO MUCH SILLENT ON RUNING. GO TRY IT bRETT. ps ANY OF YOU GUYS IN bAKERSFIELD ca.

Paul and I have been trading notes on the SB lubricants and their viscosity. I am curious as to what lubricants are used by folks that have had SB lathes for a while. There are four types rec by SB, one is a spindle oil, two oils for most of the rest of the oil pts and a bed way oil. SB charges $7.50 per qt. Would appreciate hearing from anyone that has exerperience with alternative sources of oil. thanks Big tom

I have a 1940 (in. model a and love it. do any of you guys know why when i use the back gear it jumps out Brett
