Another "What is this lathe?" thread.

Kinda looks like Atlas 'Blue' to me.
I wager a $1 that Robert sees this and knows straight off.

What about the one on the far left on the tailgate?
Need more picts of that one too!

(and what's all that weird white stuff all over the place? :grin: )

Thanks, I'll google Atlas Blue and see if it matches up anywhere.

I wondered about that gizmo on the left too. Thought it might be an attachment for the lathe but can't see how it would work. I'll ask him for more pics.

That white s**t is Ssssssssss....Snnnnn.....Snnn...aw heck, I can't even bring myself to say it. We've been lucky so far this year, haven't even dug the blower out of the back of the barn yet.

Grandson's buddy picked this lathe up and is trying to identify it. Says there's no markings anywhere and I can't see any when I blow the pix up. It's old enough to be belt drive, you can see the shaft and pulleys in one of the pictures. I can probably guide him through cleaning and lubricating and getting it set up, but a name and model would be handy just in case...

Barnes #4 Lathe, a Farmers/mechanics lathe that was probably pedal powered when new. Google Barnes Lathe images...
 
Looks like its about to be "Old and Rusted"! Get it out of the snow :D
