Howdy! finally an owner of a 10EE and need 1 part

Old fart · Feb 18, 2013

Hi I am after 26 years of looking the proud owner of serial number 9928 10EE. The lathe is in mint condition, the ways are nearly perfect and it is still looking real good in it's second paint job. From all apearences this lathe was very well taken care of and 99% un adultrated. I have been the proud owner of a 1942 KK (raised) for 25 years and love and am a loyal monarch head! I have taken the time to try to read most of this Monarch thread and am glad that I am part of this gang of you that are loyal as well.

I need 1 part that is missing from my lathe and that is the right end bottom door. If any of you can help me out it would be appreciated.

Good to see another ee in SD, makes for at least three! I can't help with ant parts though.

I can't help either, but a serviceable replacement could be made from MDF using a straight router bit with a follower bearing.

Hello and welcome!

I can't help you with your part either, but I am missing one of the vertical bars off my lower left end casing and I was going to do as Peterh suggested by making one from MDF or ally strip.

I may have one... Will try and look next week.

Old fart · Feb 19, 2013

Ok Alain let me know when you get time.

Old fart · Feb 19, 2013

I am also going to buy a DRO for this lathe very soon here. Right now it's down to a Newall dp 700 or a 200s Acu-rite

Any coments on either of these?
Also is there a thread somewhere here on how to post up pics on here? I will share some pics of the new baby.

This is in the South Bend forum, but can used for any forum;'

There is, I believe , another way to post pictures in the thumbnail format, that I'm not familiar with. Maybe somebody else will offer instructions.

Here is what I found. One cover is broken and in bad shape. The other two are OK. The one on the left is cast iron.

Drstrangelove · Mar 29, 2013

Ive got #9899 and it's a MG set so I'd guess his is the same.

Glad to hear it's in good condition!

Old fart · Mar 29, 2013

The one that is broke looks like the one that fits mine.Thanks for lookin Alain. Thermite mine has been converted to a 3hp Lincoln with an ABB drive.

Old fart · Mar 29, 2013

strangelove does yours have the 3 ribs on the TS door?

Had to wait for the snow to melt

No problem. They look easy to cast in aluminum.

rimcanyon · Mar 29, 2013

I have one like the one that is broken, picture attached. It is cast iron. Dimensions are 19" x 18". PM me if you are interested. I also have a front door, from a 1942 MG lathe.

Thermite and gang... today I spent 58 bones on a chunk of 1/2" 6061. and made the door it turned out very nice. looks like factory l to r=16.25 and top to bottom is 14.125. I did a .375 radius cut in the mill on the sides and hand blended the round corners. Looks tits! Thanks for the help and for lookin!

Old fart · Mar 30, 2013

Oh for you that are really in the know on these 10EE's the dealer/ rebuilder that I got mine from was somewhat exstatic that this machine was the very first and only 10EE that they have ever seen that had Timkin bearings in the head stock. Is this why it is nearly silent when the back gear and the lead screw are not engaged? even at 2500 rpm.

Don't think so, I'll check on Monday.

Alain · Mar 31, 2013

no problem.

I will store them in the barn. I may get the last 10EE going and may use them then.

Old fart · Mar 31, 2013

Thermite. please give me some time here and I will make attempt #1 at posting up some pics. I am an old bastid and in the next 45 days will be working 39 11 hr. days. I do agree that the TS end will be the cleanest for the intake.

Old fart · Mar 31, 2013

Alain do you have enough stuff to make a new rebuilt EE? if so I am looking for my next project ... do you want to sell? Thermite the reason my rebuilder knows about the timkins is that they are absolute experts on and love the 10 EE's they flush and refill all the box's as they get them. They own the lowest serial number EE that I know of and have been privy to the great aspects of the EE for many many many years. when I picked mine up they turned me on to a super old round dial that spun 4500 RRRR's.
