Title says it all. Mine is severely broken. I have the gears and am looking for the lever assy.
Send me a pm if you have one.
Thanks!

Likely many years apart but they are SB 13.

I have the entire assembly missing the brass lever and spring . From 1953 SB 13 .

Just pay postage .

The model 34 is quite old- all the parts mentioned so far are for much newer lathes. They might interchange, but I doubt it. What is your serial number?

I suspect you have the bolt down type reverser.

Pics of your part will help.

Bump. You can see the style of the lever in the small pic above.

Cast iron can be repaired by brazing and the repair will be permanent. If you have all the broken parts seek out a 'Fab' shop that does
welding and fabrication. Brazing failure is related to not enough heat applied (red heat is the top end), insufficient flux, or poor preparation of the surfaces.

I will second on the brazing. With plenty of heat and good flow of brass. Cast iron brazed properly rarly breaks.

labradigger1 · Feb 25, 2018

I has been brazed for some time. It finally failed and I don’t know where all the parts are anymore.

Post pics of what you do have...guessing it broke across the slot?

It would be too difficult to make a whole new if necessary.

labradigger1 · Mar 13, 2018

Still looking. Picture in post 11. Thanks.

iwananew10K · Mar 13, 2018

I actually meant of the broken parts that you have left, I'm sure someone could either fix or make a whole new one.

k3vyl · Mar 13, 2018

Looks like this part can be made from a piece of flat steel stock as the body and a piece of round stock as the handle.The two sides of the body are parallel.The holes must be accurate.The slot for the hold down will be a bunch of work,unless you have a mill.The thickness can be turned on a face plate.It wont be as graceful as the casting,but you will be able to run power feed and cut threads.

labradigger1 · Apr 10, 2018

Still looking. No time to make or cast one. Hopefully I can find a used one.
Picture of part in post 11.
Thanks
