Heavy 10 restoration and troubles.

Hi I posted a few weeks ago about my new south bend, since then I have been working on it, after a lot of cleaning etc I got to the point to start cutting, but... I just realize that the tailstock that came with my lathe does not belong to it , it is about 5/16 above center, however when I picked up the lathe there was a few parts that I got with it , one of the is the body of a tailstock , and I say the body because as you all will see, it is empty, but I believe this one might be the one for my lathe. I am going to post picts so may be some one can tell me, *(may be Mr jkull who actually did such a nice job with my threading chart). If there is any solution to my problem , please let me know may be some one want a trade on parts if I am lucky , if not I will be in hands of Grizly ... . the painted one is the one I thought was for the heavy 10 , but no way it is to high the other I recovery from my tools and it has not base, but the other base matched to it. well I hope some one is able to help me again.

The unpainted one has no base under it??? If the painted base fits it check to see how it fits to the spindle center.

The painted tailstock is from a Logan. You don't need Grizzly, buy a used tailstock on ebay.

hi thanks , the base fits but still I will need the spindle and all the other parts , like the handwheel etc and with out them i do not know if it is going to be possible to check the centers, but thanks I will try\

Grizzly can't help you..

Send a private message to SBLatheman , Ted, He has all kinds of parts for the South Bends.

the unpainted has no base but the other base fits it , but I could not see if the high will match cause the unpainted has not spindle beside the other parts missing

ok thanks

That tailstock looks to be from a model 922 or similar 11" Logan lathe. I had one a few years back. You could probably sell the Logan tailstock on eBay and find a nice SB tailstock and sell the body you have there and end up money ahead in the end. Just a little juggling around.
