wife and I stopped and looked at a south. Bend. lathe today. I could'nt find a model # . The cat # is 117c. The serial #. Is9583hkc. It has quick change gearbox. I'd say 16 swing and 30 in c to c . Tag said. Bed. 6 ? Has 8 in 3 jaw. 10 in 4 jaw. Face plate. Taper ATachment. Steadiest. Drill chuck. Boring bar holder. And comes with phase converter. Other tooling in a cabinet but I could barely get the door open . I could see some boring bars and. Tool holders.

Some one. Tell me about this lathe . Then I' lol tell the rest.
Thanks ron

That I don't know. Farmer friend of mine bought it probably 5 years ago and never hooked up the electric.. He passed away 1 year ago at age 57 very. Unexpectedly. His brother was over today moving some round bales and got to talking to me and asked if I was interested in it.. I' m. Not. But if I could help a fellow member out I would try
Thanks ron
 
Kinda looks like the black one. Motor. Under headstock

Yes it is a south bend .. I thought I said that.
Thanks ron
 
Why are all the good deals so far away? Hope someone takes it home. Keep the scrappers away. Too much waste in this country.
 
I won't. Let it go to scrap. But I don't. Need it. I think it can be had for. 1500.00. I was just trying to find it a good home.
Thanks ron
 
Up date. Lathe was dumped in a roll off container and sent. For scrap . Some one can buy it Ina China lathe now.
Thanks ron
 
Nope . I will never post anything on here for sale. No one has a interest so why should I bother? A while back I posted a south bend 9a with a long bed. I ended up giving it away to get it out of my way. And yes it was pretty well tooled.
Thanks ron
