I'll try to remember to take picture.
Seems the older I get, the more trouble I have remembering to do things.

GONRA's not sure this Southbend 10K lathe (purchased in early 1960's)
2010 Spindle Bearing Lube Parts Rehab info will be useful, but here goes:
stevewb@bellsouth.net hasa great kit with perfect instructions.
This guy really pulled out all the stops in selling a kit.
Maybe he has something for YOUR project?
PS Didn't try too "bang spindle out and back in" but made a handy puller using
½-13 nuts / washers, pipe nipples, etc. on ½-13 threaded rod.
This verked smoooothly.
Surely saved "Joe Fumble Fingers" from making a mess of it all....
I'm looking for something that would show me how the "U" drive works.
You might try this site. http://www.vintagemachinery.org/mfgI...?id=2133&tab=3
I did check Vintage Machinery.
Lots of good information, but no instructions on how to work the "U" drive.
I guess I'll figure it out when I get it back together.
The best part is once you have restored one lathe,you can easily restore the next one.I have a lot of heavy workshop machinery,but am too old for big stuff,so luckily i saved a couple of small lathes.Even a 13x40 lathe has a 4 jaw that weighs 60 lb,so its either left on or needs a little hoist to change over.When you get too old,people start giving you stuff you would have sold your mother in law to get 60 years before.
