Hi All! My family has had 10EE lathes for decades and decades. One of the lathes that is particularly important to the family and is of significant sentimental value, is a 1939 round dial with the original Sundstrand hydro. This machine has performed wonderfully until recently, when the hydro blew a seal. One thing led to another.... long story.... Anyway, does anyone have a Sundstrand hydro unit laying around that they'd be willing to part with? Even if it doesn't operate, we're quite experience with the unit and are just looking for a couple of important internal parts, specifically the internal pump casting.
Just to head off any errant discussions, no I don't want to upgrade this lathe to a modern drive, yes I know the shortcomings of the hydro....... This is all about restoring an old machine to as close to original condition as possible.
Thanks!!
