Heavy 10 with D1-3 spindle ???

I have a 1963 10" SB toolroom lathe with a 2-1/4"-8 TPI spindle. Always wanted a D-? spindle nose but just not cost-worthy for me to convert. The original brochure indicates a D-1 4" was available, but not a D-1 3.
Surfing the thread "Show us your South Bend Lathe, page 5", in this Forum, a H-M member "WeldingRod1" posted a conversion of a 10" SB to a D-1 3 spindle back in Dec 2, 2012.
I asked for more information but never got an answer.
Might be of interest to you.

Thanks i try to look up still trying to find my way around the site
 
When I posted my above reply, I thought that post #5 was yours. I see now that it was not.

The dimensions that you show indicate that your spindle is NOT a South Bend spindle. That makes your lathe a "frankenlathe". A true SB spindle should have a thru hole of ~1.40" and the mouth opens to ~1.628", with the internal taper at 0.602" per foot. That taper is the same as a MT#3, but the size is larger.

I have no idea where a spindle like yours could have come from.

Ok, mine has a internal taper of ~ .602 per foot which corresponds to a MT3 slope but bigger than an MT3. I found it to be the same as the taper on a SB heavy 10.

Boris, please tell me the model of your lathe. the reason I ask is I recently purchased a Taiwan late 1970's or early 80's lathe (Select 816b) that has some similarities in appearance to the parts in the photos you attached, and I have read that it may be similar in appearance to a South Bend. I have no manual for it, and I was hoping to find something similar, clone like. Need to learn more about mine.
