Hgr had several Powerturn lathes listed, the non attached chucks were separated as they do and listed for sale.
The example here was first listed at $349, then 300, 249, finally $199. With truck shipping 122lbs it cost $325, a 12" Cushman direct mount steel chuck
This is the worst one, of other chucks I have bought from hgr. It did take 6+ hours to clean it up.
The backside shows it is a solid steel chuck, intended for machines like the 20hp+ L&S Powerturn heavy duty lathes. There is minimum flex in this style of chuck.
I was informed by a local old timer that these were also called convertable chucks, the six cam lock pins can be removed, and the chuck will attach to an A type spindle nose, with 4 bolts. The drive pin hole can be seen.
I did have a model 1610 Powerturn lathe I used for over 20yrs, I sold it many years ago, and regret losing the identical Cushman chuck, but feel very lucky on this deal.
The jaws have an aggressive pattern, that I found grips castings well.
If some do observe the hgr sales, I just bought the 8" Buck 6jaw, a modern steel body model, with 2 piece jaws, for their reduced price of $159!
There has often been chucks for Monarch ee, and Hardinge, listed at hgr.
