I just recently acquired a South Bend 16” model 117H a 12ft bed model. Took a little finesse with my tractor to unload it and get it into my shop. Luckily my shop is a Quonset so the doors open 24ft. It’s in very good condition overall just a little wear on the compound nut about .040 slop cross slide is better only .020. Has taper attachment but missing clamp for bed so I’m looking for that and also a steady rest and the movable lead screw support. If anyone knows where there some let me know. Just hooked up a vfd to it runs good. Now just to get it positioned in its spot and level this very long lathe. Also picked up a Brown & Sharpe 2l surface grinder. Paid $400 for the grinder and $150 for the lathe. I think I did pretty good. I’ll post a couple pics of it from where I picked it up.
