Only the 13" with the large through hole came with the outside thrust ball bearing. Ted

Yes, 10-32 LH with a big head. Ted

I have the special screws for sale. N.O.S. $10 each plus $3 shipping in the USA. Ted

2- If the tag is valid for 9-11-13" gearing, does that mean that gears from those sized lathes are interchangeable: ie: 9" gears will fit the 11" ? Just the number of teeth are the same, not the gears

I think the tag is the index plate. The 9-11-13 are the sizes of machines that the plate will work for, not the date. Ted

Double tumbler gearbox(any size), spindle in forward, reverse lever UP, feeds the carriage toward the spindle(left) Single tumbler gearbox(any size), spindle in forward, reverse bracket DOWN, feeds th

R for the Heavy 10...most of the time :-) Parts that are exclusive to the large spindle have the L suffix (example: the spindle part number) Ted

The chart that Jim B posted would be pretty close to your machine(1939 vs. 1936) Ted

That speed chart is from 1976, so it would be for the 10K, but it also would apply to some of the 9" with a double motor pulley. Ted

South Bend used to sell a skived leather Vee belt for the 9", both horizontal and under drive. Ted

I have some parts for the 13". Like Jim said, send me an email with your needs. Thanks, Ted

No step. Snug in the bed, loose in the head. Ted

I have a set of new half-nuts that got a little rusty(not bad) that I will sell at a discount. Send me an e-mail if you are interested. Ted

The dials were all large by the time I was involved. The cross slide retracted over the dials to get the full travel...but that is no excuse Ted

Ed, Can you imagine 200 graduations on those little bitty dials from the old days? :-) South Bend wasn't the only one that did that. I think they all did. Ted

Lance, My mistake. The compound has a 10 pitch screw(.100" per revolution) Yours is radius reading. Ted

The original screws on the 16" crossfeed and compound are 8 TPI. One revolution moves the slide .125" If your dials have 250 grads, they are diameter reading. If 125, radius reading. Ted

I have NOS Send email Internet currently down Ted
