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?

That makes sense, thanks. I guess the seller is just a dufus who doesn't know what he's got or how to measure.
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.
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 don’t think that is the HLCA gear (no keyway in the bore).
I think it is a “spider”

I like that motor sitting on the floor. Wonder if it was the original, and if it has now been replaced.
That looks significantly larger than the original that came with my Heavy 10.
