New guy Bill,
this is about 8-10 hours driving time from your location. Might be worth the effort. The least you can do it reach out to the seller and discuss the lathe.
I drove 8 hours each way when I got my first lathe.
good luck

It wouldn't be as good as a Heavy 10L, but it would certainly beat the heck out of an Atlas! Depends mostly on what you want to do with a lathe. The Atlas 10" & 12" lathes have an MT3 spindle and MT2 tailstock. Through hole in the spindle is about 3/4" or 19mm. From what I'm reading, http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbend/page8.html, the Light 10 lathes had about a 5/8" through hole on their spindle, so in some ways the Atlas would be better, but... I have never seen a light 10 in person, just photos, and I was interested in being able to do some gunsmithing work, so the Atlas 10"/12" and Heavy 10L lathes are a better choice. Heavy 10L has a 1-3/8" through hole, so better for that purpose, but folks I know online have used a 7x Mini-lathe to do gunsmithing, so you might be able to do more than you thought. I found my Atlas a few years before I found the Heavy 10L. Paid $750 for the Atlas, running, but with few accessories and little tooling. Was able to use much of the stuff I got for my HF 7x10 with it. Paid $950 for the Heavy 10L, in need of much restoration, but with two single-tumble QCGB's, normal and turret tailstocks, two 5C collet closers, and the taper attachment. Much of the stuff that works for the Atlas will also work for the Heavy 10L, as it has a spindle adapter that takes MT3 tapers. The standard tailstock also has an MT3 taper. If I were close by, and hadn't gotten my two larger lathes, I'd be interested in this lathe. Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

looks like that lathe is missing the QCGB & lead screw ? Could have been a serious crash . Or maybe he took it off for the new owner restoration & got over his head . animal On 1/9/2023 10:05 AM,

My earlier post included more information. Have quick change and lead screw. They are off because there is some gear damage in the quick change. I think only two gears but not certain. 220v 3ph. Has 3jaw, jacobs 1/2” chuck, live and dead centers. Three tool holders, left, center and right hand. Knurling tool and faceplate. Located outside Pottage WI. Thanks.

That looks just like what I'd want,I'm not ready to travel that far yet,I've been seeing 9",10"&10heavys within2 hrs or so of me,just trying to get some specific knowledge before I get serious about buying.The price on this is better than any I've seen near me but a day or so trip will add to that cost.

It is more than a one day project.
The way I did it for mine, was to drive after work and arrive at about 11pm. Stay overnight in a local Motel 6. In the morning go to the location, pick up
the goodies, then drive home and get there around 9pm.
Breaking up the trip that way saved my sanity and possibly kept me alive, as making the trip in one day would have been too risky. First because of the many hours and second because of
the weight with a high center of gravity in the bed of my F150.
Adding speed and tired to the high load can easily spell disaster

I never got your original post , Which happens a lot . A lot of times I end up going to the group page & then reading the whole thread to fill in the parts I missed . Don't know if other folks have that problem too . My first time seeing anything on this one was from Andrei's post . Keeps me on my toes ( well sorta ) . animal On 1/9/2023 1:02 PM,

Here is picture of inside of the quick change. I bought the lathe planning to fix the QC but I just last week bought a larger lathe.   On Jan 9, 2023, at 4:31 PM, mike allen <animal@...> wrote:

Making gears is not too hard if you have the proper cutter and a way to index. I have seen people using saw blades as an index. Pretty wild.

These gear boxes are not as complicated as folks make them out to be . Got mine together on second try . First try I mixed the QC handles . IIRC the gears in the handles face opposite directions . If you do go for a SB lathe you want to get
one of the rebuild manual these folks put out . Get you through
the gearbox easy . I think they may be cheaper on ebay . https://www.amazon.com/South-Bend-Lathe-Rebuild-Kit/dp/B01K5253SG animal On 1/9/2023 2:36 PM,

I’m with Mike, not that hard. On my SB13 that I rebuilt, I put new bushings in the housing and made new shafts, as the wear was crazy from lack of maintenance. The bronze bushings were almost completely gone, the shafts had .030 worn off the diameter!

Like the Atlas 10” and 12”, the 10L also has a MT3 spindle and MT2 tailstock. That page is talking about the max work size with collets. It takes 6K collets, which allow up to 5/8” material, but the bore of the spindle will take up to 13/16” of material. South Bend 9’s incidentally take 3C collets, which allow up to 1/2” material, but the bore of the spindle will take up to 3/4” of material. I regularly use 3/4” material through my 9” spindle with a chuck. Brandon |

The 10k has bore of 55/64”. About 0.860. It also takes 6K collets which go to 5/8”, along with 3C.

I had tooling for 3AT for mine. Probably shop made. 6K are not common but I just sold a complete set (by 54ths). Jim B, On Jan 10, 2023, at 10:15 PM, Brandon Corey <bcorey@...> wrote:

Thanks! I've not touched a 9" South Bend lathe in nearly 50 years. Any lathe is better than no lathe, but some latest are much better than others. :) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

Out of curiosity, how much stuff (if any) from a Heavy 10 will fit this? Like headstock, tailstock, quick change gearbox, etc. I have those left over from a Heavy 10. I don't need another lathe but a friend may, and the Heavy 10 stuff would be nice, especially if the gearbox would work. The ways and carriage, etc. on the heavy 10 are worn beyond fixing. And I gave Jim B. the taper attachment... :)
