I acquired this Logan 2555V a few months ago. Mechanically it is dead on and in great shape. Esthetically, it was a mess. about 50 years worth of grime, grease oil and about 5 coats of paint. The motor was 1 hp 3 ph 240 volt . The motor was fried and needed replacement. I replaced the motor with a 2hp 1 ph 220 volt A.O Smith motor. What I did not realize when I purchased this lathe was it weighs over 1100 pounds. I had to hire a rigger to get it in. Now THAT was a job..lol
After a through degreasing and cleaning I power wire brushed the entire lathe down to bare metal, then primed it. The final coat is Rustoleum machinery gray.
I am a Mechanical Engineer and use it to make prototypes of parts I design.
I will try and include some before and after photos.
