I reached out to South Bend and they could not help, but referred me to your forum.
I did search a couple different key words looking for the answer before posting.

I am trying to do the periodic maintenance on a South Bend Nordic 15 CN15770531N48

the poor quality copied manual we have lists every oil used on the lathe as SAE30 with one exception. The Headstock gear sump. It looks like the oil listed is "2,5 degree (122 degree F)" in the previous where I wrote the word degree is the actual symbol, but I didn't know how to type that here. The sump was almost dry but the oil that was in there was about SAE30 weight but had the gear oil smell to it.

can the above serial number be used to date the lathe?

Kind regards,
Mike
