Logan 14 Inch Do You Own One? Model 6565 In Particular

Chuck K said:
The price seems ok. Strange that someone would steal the motor. The tailstock and chuck would have been a lot more valuable and whole lot easier to take.

I'm not, someone recently stole my...wait for it...plastic garbage can. It didn't even have wheels just a round plastic garbage can, used with green Pacific NW mold growing on it. (face palm)
 
550 seems reasonable...... as long as the rust on the ways cleans up..... You might find some goodies in the storage compartment under the tailstock end if you are lucky.

That would be a nice surprise. I am hoping to see a threading dial laying there. I found a guy parting out a 14" logan about 2 hrs away from me. So as soon as I get the "new" one home I may be looking him up. I still need to figure out what size pulley I will need on the "new" motor. I plan on using a VFD. So im thinking if I get one with a speed pot, I wont need to use the original VS drive. (?) We use Big VFD's where I work at. So I will talk with our head elec. engineer when that time comes. I should be able to get one much cheaper through work.
 
I am running mine on a VFD and have never moved the variable speed adjustment. My VFD has a pot, works very well, I also put a digital tach on so I can see the actual rpms. Good to know that you found another one that is being parted, that could really come in handy.
 
So I got the lathe home last Thursday. The ways do have a little rust, but I think they will clean up well. I opened the head stock and noticed the Lg. gear (BULL?) has 1 tooth missing. However, all the other gears look great including the QC gear box. The lathe came with a 4 jaw chuck, about 5 tool holders, a turret style tool post, 2 lantern tool post, live center, face plate, taper attachment, new 5c collets maybe like 10 or 12, a collet closer but missing the adapter and the nose cone. It also came with a parts manual. I was looking through the manual and noticed a few wearable parts that were checked off. So I'm hoping there are a few new parts in the machine.

Now the hunt begins for a motor pulley. The logan website has one but right now the $245 price tag is not in my budget....... There has to be some used ones out there. Of course if I could get the actual dimensions, that would be awesome.
 
Charles I dont know how I did it buddy as rare as the 6565 is it came with nothing charles actually found the lathe in new jersey for me a couple months back and I found a fella in tenn, who had the steady and follow with all transposing and stud metric gears including the metric chart hahah for 500$ Scott logan wanted 2500+ for the set and the steady and follow,, I understand a man has to pay bills but I think he is 100% aware hes the only one with parts for these things lol...

I see your machine has the spindle brake. Would you mind doing me a huge favor and get me all the details of the components. My 6561H had one and it is missing everything except the hole in the front plate and a swivel piece protruding through it. I want to add it back to the machine. Also, I am in no hurry what so ever so time is in your favor. I would be forever in your debt. Thanks.
 
Randy not a problem buddy, you do know that Scott Logan sells the parts manuals to our lathes for like 25 bucks and they have a full schematic breakdown with parts numbers. Let me know exactly what you want as far as just pictures or??

Yeah, I placed an order with him last week and have several copies now of the parts manual. I am in need of pics and preferably drawings of the spindle brake. This option is not in the manuals for this machine. I have the handle and the part it screws into. I need the rest. Anything you can do to enlighten me will be greatly appreciated.
