I saw this SB heavy 10 listed, but the seller quotes it as having a 1 3/4" spindle bore. Photo looks like it too. I had never seen one of these before. Were they common? Extremely rare? Special order?

What you are looking at is a part of a hand lever collet closer (it is pressed onto the spindle at the rear).

So, no large bore, just a standard 1-3/8" bore.
 
That makes sense, thanks. I guess the seller is just a dufus who doesn't know what he's got or how to measure.

He also looks like he gave it a "spray can" overhaul.

If you get the lathe, get the regular gear for the end of the spindle and sell the one on it. They are fairly scarce, because when the collet closer is removed and sold, the gear is more often than not left on the lathe.

I'm well tooled on lathes. Three from 10 to 18". I just like to browse and look for friends. Helps me to judge the market.
