South Bend Lathe
Model: 2-H Turret
Catalog#: 2-CW
Serial#: 130568
Swing: 16"
Length of bed: 6'
Date shipped: 9/8/1942
As the title states, I plan this to be my restoration thread on this machine. Some of the info may be redundant, but I first started my inquiry into this machine here:

I plan for this to be pic heavy, as well as posted vids as I make my through it. You can check the vid playlist to see what's been added, and I will post all the vids to it as I complete them. You can find the playlist here:

The first vid is an introduction to the machine and the history of it as I understand it. You can find it here:

Aside from adding new posts to this thread, I may edit this first post with major details, but I'm kinda playing it by ear right now.
