Hi,
I recently bought a South Bend 9 inch model C. I am looking for info on many things. The lathe is missing many parts. The saddle, crosslide, compound, tail stock, gears, lead screw, apron, rack. Prices for this is stuff on ebay is not feasible. I would like to get it running without going bankrupt. I think I could cut my own gears on my other machines. I can't find measurements for gears, lead screw and the rack on all the info out there. The headstock and power train are good. The bed shows normal wear. It would be a shame to scrap such a great piece of history.
I'm looking for Measurements of;
The rack
lead screw
gears
Anything would help. Thanks
