New old Southbend lathe

n8ipj <johnmears@...>
This is my first posting so hello every one. Just purchased a 9 inch
jr.serial# 37568 date on casting is 11-15-27. Is taking the head stock off easy? What do you suggest. It has a long Bed and is very heavy and has to be taken out of a basement moved 5 miles and down again into my basement. Thanks John

Jump in there with some wrenches, and take that puppy apart.
They're easier to move in pieces, and you get some practical experience putting
it back together. You should be able to put a "9" in the trunk of a
Buick. AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

John,

I moved my 9" long bed all by myself when I inherited it from my dad. I took off the headstock, tailstock, and carriage. I cut the belt to get the motor countershaft assembly separate as I had to shorten the belt anyway for my bench, but you can also take the axle out on the cone step pulleys. With the lathe in pieces it was easily a one man job.well maybe I shouldn't say easily.it is still fairly heavy, but nothing to complain about. I wasn't at all worried about messing up the alignment as all the assemblies key off the ways and will go right back where they came from. Neal

If I am correct about your model, it is very easy IMHO

It has tow clamps with bolts in the center on the bottom side.. Its just like the tail stock but two clamps not one and the bolts are on the bottom side.. Just loose the bolts and slide the head off the bed.. Thanks Very Much, Johnny Kleso AKA rarebear www.REXMILL.com

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... Steve Wells wswells@earthlink.net

Hello John, I have SB Junior #37819 with a similar date on the bed.
The headstock is simple to remove, and not that heavy by itself, once you've taken off the change gear guard. Breaking down the whole lathe is a good way to get familiar with it, and the safer way to move it. If no one else mentioned it yet, there's a Yahoo group for SB Jrs. Good Luck, Marc Nowakowski

Dennis,
I am member of forum and notice you have a lot of knowledge on SB’s. could you tell me the part or number for the steady and follower rests that work on a 10 Heavy. There are a few on ebay and am curious as I am in need of both.
Thank You for you help, Ron (ronnew on forum)

Ron,
The casting numbers are: PT120R1 for the follow rest and PT775R1 for the steady rest. The R at the end specifies that it is for the 10 Heavy. I’m not sure what the part numbers are, but Lablond had a part number SBCL2395R (note the “R”) for the follow rest. On Ebay, look for the casting number on the main casting. Most of the other parts are interchangeable.
George
