Screw and Idle gears 25

I bought a South Bend 9c lathe that had been dropped. The screw and idle gears have be broken. Does anyone know were to get one or will a 3d printed gears work as a replacement. Also if 3d printed gears will work what printing materials should be made of. Any help here would be very helpful.

Update on J-B Weld fix of Gear Door pivot

Sad to report that what was at first a perfect fit has not held up well. It has not been abused, but the J-B Weld is apparently subject to creep. The door was struck by a gear tooth last evening--much to my surprise. On investigation, I found that the door has drooped a good 1/8th inch at the spindle and probably more. Shucks. David W.

Steady rest for a heavy 10 7

Anybody know of or have a possible resource for one of these? Obviously bought used. It has the taper attachment but not the steady rest. Kinda need one of them to do any barrel profiling! Thanks! L. Mike

Thanks for allowing me to join 6

I just picked up an old SB 9. (Ibelieve) so I'm sure I'll be asking for advice etc. I just got it but will post more as I get this tooling sorted out. Randy

Looking for info on a Carl Hansen clone of a 9" South Bend 13

Hi group, I posted this question in the previous group, and thank you to the people that replied. I found I couldn't post anything else in the thread or upload any pictures so I'll try again here. The lathe in question looks (to me at least) like a South Bend, and in fact has been fitted with the change gears and cover from one. The headstock has "C.Hansen Wpg" cast into it. I bought it from a gentleman here in Montreal who had it originally from Mr Hansen himself. He was the engineering supervisor for MacDonald aircraft in Winnipeg and apparently made a number of 9 and 14 inch lathes in the 1930's and 40's. I found a reference to him in the local papers from 1934; he was apparently an active member in the local model engineering society. I've searched the internet, and read through everything possibly relevant on lathes.co.uk but have found no other info. If anyone knows anything or has another example of Mr Hansen's lathes I'd be really interested to hear from you. I'll try to upload some pictures of the lathe.

16-21 South Bend Lathe 4

Had an elder Lady stop at my house and asked if I would come to her house and get a lathe that her husband bought 20 years ago sitting in the shop on a trailer with four flat tires he started taking apart and figures out that he could not probably put it back together, like a good neighbor I said yes and followed her to the shop, I was shocked to see this monster and ever attachment for the lathe on pallets, he said the lathe come from a gas compressor company that though a jack leg there could run it only for him to leave the key in the chuck and when he turned it on the key went though those old type big windows, the lathe was disconnected and set in the corner this was suppose to have happen in 1960, found a man that worked there and said it was as stated, I got the birth certificate if was produced it was sold 9/22/1955 to an individual, it is a 16" swing with 5" riser blocks, there is not wear on anything, will post pics of some progress, I would be neat to find some of the decedents of this man and show them it has a new life, this make my 10th. lathe, I think I will soon have enough, the other South Bend in a 9" 1925

South Bend X - what is it? 7

Hi. I have a couple of Logan lathes, and it looks like am going to be the next owner of a South Bend. A year ago I was visiting my uncle and took a quick video of a South Bend lathe that he had in his basement. He died a week ago and I have been offered this lathe. I am attaching some snapshots from the video. The label is blurry, but it looks like it says the swing is 8. I looked at the video several times and am pretty sure that I see and "8", not a "9". Since "4 foot" might be the whole bed, what would this lathe be called? Can someone educate me on what this is? Also, there will be a day soon when this thing needs to be moved out of the basement. What is the expected weight once the motor and countershaft assembly (correct name?) are removed, along with the chuck and tailstock? Do you know if the chuck is threaded onto the spindle?

Steady rest needed 2

Got an old SB heavy 10 in trade and it's missing some parts. Chip tray (floor gets real messy without one) and a steady rest or follow rest. Have no idea what one even looks like, but I think it attaches to the slide via two screw holes in the tailstock side of the saddle. Please, correct me if wrong! It does have the taper attachment. Thanks! L. Mike
