Old South Bend lathe - Help with ID?

Tom Faust #105568 Need help with ID. I'm thinking early 9", but could it be a "Junior". Sorry for bad pictures, a little crowded in there.

m. allan noah #105569 Looks like a regular side oiler 9C, made for several decades. Get the serial number off the top side of the bed, right end. allan toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Wed, Oct 6, 2021 at 7:51 AM Tom Faust via groups.io <TWFAUST=AOL.com@groups.io> wrote: Need help with ID.

Roger Bickers #105570 Juniors have a more "boxy" apron..this looks like a C as it appears to only have a halfnut lever at the right side of the apron face. Google south bend A, B, and C separately to see the distinctions. Be sure to look for the set of change gears as it has no gearbox. Should be like 13 of them. Look for a steady rest and a follow rest, as well as a 3&4 jaw chucks, a face plate, a dog plate and dogs. May even find a milling attachment. If you don't know what the stuff is, Google it.

Steve Wells #105571 This is a Workshop Catalog number 477, 6-speed Model B, made between late 1939 and late 1945. It has a keyed lead screw with an A-B apron, old style bed feet, bed mount switch with the wiring hole in the left bed foot. Post the serial number for us for a more accurate ship date.

Roger Bickers #105573 Damn Steve, how'd you see those knobs for the feeds? Must not be on a phone like I am.

I can't see the star clutch knob but the hand wheel is in the way. Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb

Steve Wells #105575 I have OCD Roger…LOL, it’s a curse most of the time! I can see the shifter knob peaking out just above the hand wheel. Also I have a pristine 1935 405 bed that Turk send me a few years ago that I’ve slowly been converting to a Model A. I’ve had to modify/mill the bed to accept the A-B apron, so I’m familiar with the lower casting of the newer bed and the older ones. I can’t change the feet without making an adaptor plate. I’m just going to leave the original feet on it and fill the old casting hole for the wiring, although I’d really like to have the early 1947 intermediate style bed feet.

Roger Bickers #105577 Steve, I thought I saw a shifter knob but ruled it out as a reflection or color difference. Yeah milli.g that bottom flange..I almost did that once, left it to someone else and sold the lathe.
