Hey Dave - that lathe would probably fit on the stand that came with the 9” utilathe. Maybe YYC wouldn’t mind donating to the lathe cause - i have a 3/4 horse power or maybe its a 1 that came with my reno’d 10” Utilathe that has reversing and is 240/110 if wanted one stop shopping?

That did cross my mind, about the stand.
Do you know what size motor should be on here, or does it matter that much?
Let me see if we can get it home, and see what shape she is in.
I appreciate the kind offer, we’ll see how tomorrow goes
 
Further down in the reading it suggests the lathe is good for up to 1/2 Hp when you will be machining heavier loads.

Donate away, David can have it if he can use it. You said it was a pretty solid unit. The motor as well, but I don't think he has 220 available.

I have a 1/2 hp on mine. I run the flat belt tension so it will slip before the motor will stall.

Which lathe was that one? Seems to me you had three crammed into your garage when I visited LOL. I didn't think all three were running though.
 
It’s on my Southbend 9” model A.
only two of them are running, although my Standard Modern could use a few parts replaced.
 
Johnwa is in need if a 14Dp 16 tooth gear, the gears in the 9 inch Utilathe are all 16Dp so far.
I might find one in the apron or head stock when those come apart next month.

Hi Dave,

check this http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/1617/22090.pdf

the information there suggests that a 1/4 Hp would be the size required. This is a 1/4 Hp in 1935. I would think 1/2 Hp in todays motors would be fine - maybe 1/3 Hp

@Chicken lights There is a boatload of South Bend publications on the Vintage Machinery site:

http://www.vintagemachinery.org/mfgIndex/detail.aspx?id=1617&tab=3

In addition to the one Brent linked to, there are documents on installing and levelling the lathe, oiling and lubrication, and even a US Army technical manual which may include a relevant parts list.

BTW, we're assuming the seller has correctly identified the machine as a South Bend. There were a lot of SB clones over the years, however. Kijiji sellers are, to put it mildly, not always well informed!

The little trailer is ex-DND Canadian. I have no idea what “with disposal kit explosive devices” means....

Which SM parts are you in need of?

Besides the gear that Brent mentions I also want to replace the eccentric studs in the D1-4 mount. Grizzly tools carry them but are out of stock. For some reason they won’t ship these to Canada and aren’t scheduled to get any before we’re headed back home.[emoji3525]

Oh man Dave, that looks like a fun project!!
It says it has a 3-1/2 foot bed. I think the stand here will fit it perfectly! Here is a rough sketch. The attachment points for the lathe base are just welded on nuts and can easily be placed where your lathe feet will line up.


You would need to make a pan for under the lathe - not too difficult

Middle of one foot to the centre of the second foot is 33.5”
Edge of the plywood to 44” is shown, so that stand is long enough
The plywood is 24” wide, I’m not 100% sure that’s how it goes together but it’s gotta be close
The pan could be made wider to mount the counterdrive too

The motor just smokes, doesn’t matter which way it’s wired up
 
if I remember, the motor to countershaft belt is supposed to be a 5L v belt. SB used a unique v to flat pulley drive. You can move the belt without having to loosen the motor mounts.
 
The stand will fit great. Distance between the bolt centres is 32-3/4” - only 3/4” off.
You know the weight of the stand so it will hold a lot. Should be easy to extend a base pan and add some stiffeners to support the drive. That sucks motor is smoking but looks like it has a regular base mount. Should be able to replace with a 1/2 HP.
You can probably reduce the length of the flat belt as well to make things more compact.

did you find a model number ?
