WOW I didn't even think I would get back so many mail delivery failures
because of the attachment. Moderator do you think you could add it to
the files section? Thanks

"South Bend chronology.xls" is a spread sheet giving shipping dates form
serial numbers.

Where do you find information such as year built, etc.? I searched the
data base and all the South Bend sites I could find but only came up
with general info I already knew.
The previous owner of the lathe can't find the book/paper work that
came with the lathe, and is afraid it may have been discarded. What
did come with South bends and where could I find reproductions if they
exist?

Hi John also

If you give me your catalog number I can scan in an image from the
correct year catalog for you. If you email me at dennis.Turk at
horizon.net I can send it to you. I also have a small stash of

spare

parts for the early 9 inch. I currently have a 1927 9 Jr. going
through restoration right now so I should be able to answer just

about

any question about your lathe you may have.

Hello John,
Welcome, Your lathe by serial number and casting date would

probably

be a 1928, built sometime in January, you can confirm this by

emailing

Lablond. They should be able to tell you the ship date. tear down

the

lathe for movement, everything will bolt right back up, after you

clean

it. Don't run the lathe until you have cleaned and checked the
headstock bearings. There is much info in the files to help.

There is

a

wealth of knowledge in the members of this group, great guys.
I for one would like to see pictures of your Junior...I like the

old

ones...

sb.

thanks, ron (ronnew)

Hi. I'm new to yahoo and just want to say that this forum is my
sole reason for joining.
I work in the engineering dept. at a small gray iron foundry in
Pa. My boss was digging through one of the many storage buildings
that we have on site and he found an old South Bend lathe burried in
a corner. He told me to dig it out, clean it up, and make it work.
We have been spending a lot of money to have the local machine shop
make simple metal parts for our paterns and he figured that if I
learn how to run this lathe they can save most of that money.
The head of the maint. dept and I are on a mission to get this
puppy back up and running as soon as possible. He has a ton of
little projects that it will help him with. As it stands right now I
don't know how to use a lathe myself but the guy that is helping me
has a fair knowledge of using one, but we are both in the dark about
fixing an old one that needs new parts and some TLC.
If any of you could help with some information for the
restoration it would be much appreciated.
So far this is what I know about it.

Model A
Catalog # CL650RG
Bed length 4 1/2'
Serial # 13782KAX2

The information on South Bend's website says that the Model A
lathes were 9" swing but I just got an e-mail today from DeWitt
Engle at LeBlond LTD. and he said that it was a 10" swing an was
shipped on Dec. 6 1968. I have no reason to doubt the ship date but
I am confused abut the swing.
If anyone out there has any information that would be helpful in
fixing the old girl up I would appreciate it. Remember, I don't need
to fully restore it into a show piece, I just want to make it into a
reliable tool that I can use at work.
If you have any documentation that may come in handy please e-
mail me at saco1973@hotmail.com
