Recently picked up this south bend 9 model B for 450 bucks. Came with milling attachment all that good stuff. Cleaned it up. Oiled everything down nice. I made a very solid bench for it off the wall of my garage, tons of braces underneath, metal top, etc.
Table feels solid. No wiggling when I just move it.
Headstock seems to turn nice and free and smooth. Motor running by itself seems to run pretty smooth, slight tick in one of the bearings but runs smooth.
When I go to engage the counter shaft and actually turn the head stock the countershaft rocks pretty good causing a vibration/wobble onto the lathe.
I did do a serpentine belt, seems like good smooth transitions at the joint, but cannot figure out what else to check or try.
I tried smoothing the joint out on the belt even more because I thought maybe that was it but doesn’t seem to help
