Here are pix of the new lathe. This was a real bear to get out of the U-Haul. We destroyed a come-a-long and a floor jack in the process. It was well worth it though.
This morning I took some steel wool and WD40 to the bed ways and now that 200lbs tail stock glides back and forth like it was nothing.
It came with a drive center, 4 face plates, 4 tool rests(some straight and some curved), and a carbide tip tool holder.
The real surprise is that it has the Lima 4 speed transmission, so that and the pulleys make this a 16 speed lathe.
All the tapers are #4 and look simply huge compared to my #1 tapers on the Rigid tube lathe. The spindle is 1 7/8 with 4 TPI.
The swing is 30" inboard and 84" outboard, the CTC is 73"
It was built in 1955 and weighs 4000lbs.
Here is a link to the data manual that line of lathes. Mine is the "D" model.
