I about to take the rust off my lathe bed 9 inch using the battery charger reverse plating method. Will this hurt my south bend tag? I would like to paint around it if possable.

Gold smith,
Best to remove all tags. If they're original, they'll be held in place with drive rivets. Think of a really high helix screw with no slot in the head. You can use a Dremel to create a slot and screw them out. Replacements are available on Amazon and elsewhere, or you can just screw the originals back in with slotted heads.

I was able to use a small punch on the backside of the gearbox and gear train cover. If you look VERY carefully you can find the holes the drive rivets are driven I to. A few taps and you can drive them back out without hurting them.
