I recently acquired a South Bend 9" lathe (model "907-Y", made in 1937). It does not have a Quick Change Gear Box (QCGB).
A lathe of similar vintage is for sale on Craigslist (it is a model "82-AB", per its tag), and I was wondering how I can tell if its gear box would fit my lathe. It is a 2 hour drive, so not out of the question but a bit far to drive just go take a peak.
Pictures are attached of the two lathes; the one for sale is held together with angle iron.
Thank you,
Nicholas
