First Lathe, Model 61 13x57 Toolroom No.1 plus swing 18.5"

Off-topic but I picked up a 5-ton bridge crane today. I'll have to make some adjustments to my building plans but the shop will have 50x65 feet under a 5-ton crane now. Post-purchase, I'm a bit overwhelmed and excited at the same time.

Where it sits now. Should have it home in the next week. The new building will go up mid/late Feb. Looks like I will be adding some concrete to the foundation too.



Can't wait to use it to pull the motor out of "the pig" for the rebuild.

What year is the International, and what engine ?

It's a 1960 BC-255-D, It has a Cummins NH195 which I plan to upgrade to an NH220 with a low-boost turbo. I've been on the hunt for some Model 20 jakes but have not found any yet.

I like your binder! I've got a 1978 loadstar 1700 4x4 I'm making into extended cab... slowly. I have either a 5.9 cummins or m11 with 10 speed to drive it.

You've got yourself some nice gear. The crane is awesome.

Another old fan of Binders here.
I had a 1965 1600 for over 20 years.
345 gasser 5x2.
It had relatively low miles but the cab was rotted away.
I set a 48 Diamond T cab on it. Drove it up the AlCan, lived in the camper for 3 years then drove it back home. The photo is just after I arrived in Anchorage in 1983. Was 30 then.
Has 8.25x20s on it in the photo.
I put larger dia tires on it - don't remember the size now. It would do 75 on the freeway real easy.
I "restored" it a couple of times.
Fun time in my younger days.

Sadly, no new lathe progress outside of cleaning.

Adding some more "junk" to the pile as I continue to wait for my new shop to finish up.

This is an old Dake 75H I can't believe the mass of it vs. the newer stuff. The Bethlehem Steel logo is epic too.
