can anyone identify this model?

Have look at eBay for the handle. The stud is available from Logan, though it's not cheap!
 
You might be able to save the handle, cut off the threaded part and drill and tap it the size you need for the clamp piece. Use either all thread or a long enough threaded bolt and loctite or pin it in the handle . You can do it.

I bought the parts manual document from logan as I couldn't find it elsewhere, they got me good for that, I don't like being gouged so they will be the last option....

its been brazed in and ground up apparently would be next to impossible to get it mounted in a vice to drill out and have a straight hole. for some reason it was made by logan to be 2 separate pieces a handle and a stud.

Yes, parts from Logan can be expensive. I recently went through my Logan and bought a number of parts from them. But, supplying parts
for 75 year old machine tools in very small quantities probably doesn't result in huge profits. If you really need something and eBay
doesn't have it, at least they're available, and Scott Logan also provides quite a bit of free advice as well. At a time when some manufacturers
stop supplying parts after 10 years, or don't offer repair parts at all, the fact that they still exist at all is great.

some of the prices on ebay for this stuff should be a crime as well, but I guess when you have the rare pieces that people want u can get away with that... seems people on ebay are buying whole lathes and dissecting them for parts and selling part by part? what a waste

I think you have it right: people part them out.
 
On the other hand, if someone wasn't parting out used equipment, there would be no used parts available. As for prices, it's the same with new Atlas parts. But you have to keep in mind that whomever is making the parts has to charge current day prices for them or they would lose money on every part they sold. It's no longer 1940 or 1950.
 
As old as some of these machines are, it often isn't economic to repair them or put them back into service. When that's the case, I think it makes
sense to part them out. I would hate to see a useful or running machine parted out.

maybe we just don't know what is wrong...I see complete machines sold in pieces on ebay and am not seeing a bad piece on it... and I know its done with everything even refrigerators to make parts available....just seems sad to divide up this old iron.

anyhow was more so looking for some parts and some advice on how I can fix up my lathe then a rant on parting out
