I don't have any numbers on my lathe but I have seen a couple like mine without the 8ft bed? they were made in late 30s til mid 40s something like a 1017204 or something like that. So that's all I can find out about it. I've just been going with a craftsman atlas 12" metal lathe I thought all the spindle bores were the same??
