Brand new to the forums but I have been benefitting form the knowledge posted here on my recent acquisition, a standard modern 10 utilathe.
picked up the old girl from a machine shop where she seemed to have been damaged during a threading operation so has been sacrificed for parts as a result. They have two such machines and the one used mainly for threading has its motor knocked out so they took the motor from this one as a result of that it doesn't have prominent wear on the other components minus the cross feed nut. I been learning how to dismantle the lathe and planning to give it a good clean and oiling.
damaged items on lathe:
shear pin for feed sheared
bull gear tooth missing
cross feed nut worn out
3 jaw chuck seized
things done so far:
all major parts of the lathe have been removed from the machine, headstock, cross slide and apron, quick change gearbox
chuck removed dismantled, jaws replaced and cleaned up
headstock partially disassembled (bull gear and pulley shaft removed)
Ill be making a dedicated post for the restoration project, I'll name the machine Neslon (the name of my Belgian shepherd that passed on the 25th of August 2022)
the machine shop operator also made me a deal where he would give me a meddings drill press and then packaged a bunch of old machines that he isn't using
meddings drill press
surface grinder
two myford lathes
south bend lathe
also U-613 was lost
