Last week I purchased a Howa Sangyo "Strong 1000" 17x40, 7.5 HP lathe and am in the process of cleaning it up and making sure that its damn good and ready to make parts for me. Cleaning out the lube system, making sure its got clean proper oil and new filter, adjusting stomp brake, cleaning coolant sump etc.
From some quick googling it appears that Howa Sangyo made manual lathes which were ?rebadged or sold as "Okuma-Howa" and eventually just Okuma manual lathes. I'm under the impression that Okuma bought Howa's lathe division but not 100% certain on that.
I did get a manual with this machine but the parts numbers it has are just correlated to the number on the drawing, nothing substantial I can google.
That said I'm looking for an oil pump inlet filter and a couple of the oil zerks to replace a missing one and a couple that just look beat up. I've put a call in to Hartwig of Omaha which looks to be my nearest Okuma dealer but the person I spoke with in their parts department said they weren't sure about whether or not they sell parts for Howa Sangyo manual machines.
Any help is appreciated!
