Hendey 14x54 lathe info

Thenewdill · Feb 16, 2021

I've recently acquired a Hendey 14x54 lathe and trying to get more info on it. I've been told @hendeyman here is the guru when it comes to these lathes. The serial number stamped on the plate is 18532, I also found numbers on top of the gear box underneath the lid that are 40 63 027. Any info, manuals or literature on it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: located the correct serial number, it's actually 32749

The serial number should be stamped into the bed casting as per the photo instead of a plate. 18532 would be pre 1920 but at that time the bed length was measured in feet instead of the center distance capacity in inches.

I had emailed hendeyman and he told me where to locate the serial number. What would be the number stamped on the part at the gear box I wonder?

Any actually marked 14 X 54 will be later 12 or 18 speed

Here is that manual scan
