I have two 21” South Bend lathes that I need to sell. One of the lathes (SN 23118) has a 14’ bed and was shipped on 4/22/1920. The other one (SN 24534) has a 12’ bed and was shipped on 9/27/20. I want to sell them both at the same time. Both of the lathes have one pedestal that is broken. One lathe is missing the end gear guard, some of the back gear guards, and the tailstock spindle. One lathe is missing the cone pulley (converted to variable speed) and the crossfeed slide chip guard. From what I can see, both of the lathes have good lead screws and surprisingly good looking beds. Here is what will come with the lathes:
• One 12” three jaw chuck with soft jaws,
• One 16” four jaw chuck
• One 11” chuck backplate
• One 18” faceplate
• One steady rest
• One follower rest
• One threading dial
• Some of the change gears
• Assorted minor parts
• I can include a recently rebuilt 5Hp 3 phase motor and a countershaft assembly from a 16” South Bend lathe
My original plan was to make two working lathes. One (that I would have kept) would have all the best parts from both lathes, and one lathe would be good, but missing some guards and other parts.
I can load onto a flat bed trailer. The available literature shows the weight of the lathes to be about 4200lbs each. Depending on the trailer, two trips may be required.
Here is a Practical Machinist post that I made on both lathes:

I know these are bigger than most people want, but there is a lot in this lot
Send me an email as opposed to a PM as I am much more likely to see it.
