Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a 1934 16” x 7’ Series “O” apron lathe from a family friend. It was originally shipped to Newport, RI to the Naval Torpedo Yard. It then made its way to Southeast Texas and eventually to me. There is minimal wear in the ways and the bearings seem to be in pretty good shape. I am currently tearing down and rebuilding the saddle and apron, but have found a major show stopper. There are no clutch parts whatsoever and the worm gear, key, and it’s bushings are also missing. If anyone has these parts or can send me drawings of these parts I will greatly appreciate it.

I have already had conversations with Ted and look everyday on EBay.

Thanks in advance.
 
John, is the OP’s machine going to be the cone-type clutch or the disk type?


Good question - don't have "O" back of apron view - just "N" which has discs with the finger style spring

Thumbnails from 17-C parts lists - says Series O has cone clutch

I have a copy of Bulletin No. 19-B from 1935 that lists the repair parts for my lathe and the clutch assembly shows 8 parts. None of these look like other clutch’s I have seen on later models but I’m not sure what cone or disc is specifically.
