It's taken me long enough but finally done, well I need a little more tweaking here & there, and a few more attachments but here it is. I built an oil dauber for it & wheel handle for the top slide until I can get an original, I didn't like the one that was on it, I think it was from a Shirline. I re-stamped the model #, Scott said my lathe was a model 1920-1, the -1 being the levered tail stock, the gear box was originally on a model 922, I also was trying to match the colors of the nobs for the handle ends & insides of the wheel handles so I painted them with black first & while still wet, put a light coat of burgundy, it's pretty close.

Now I just have to learn how to run it. Well I still have to get it wired up, I've got 3ph to my shop, just not wired in, Hoping to get that done in the next couple of weeks.

Looks better than a new one. You must have stripped the paint down to bare metal. Nice smooth finish.
 
Keep these pictures, as this will be the cleanest it will ever be. Great job, Keep up the good work. God bless!
 
Thanks guys, it took me long enough, I did strip it completely down, every nut & bolt except the spindle, it was extremely tight, no slack at all so I didn't take it out, that why it's not quite as clean as everything else but it's in great shape, I figure it'll shine up while using, I've got the chuck in Evapo-Rust right now, I bought some leveling feet that came in this afternoon, suppose to support 900 lbs each, they have neoprene bottoms, I'll get them on in the next day or two, I read some post talking about the vibration they can have so I got some. Still have to get a steady rest, & follow rest. I'm also wanting a quick change tool post and a ER40 set up for it but I'm gonna have to get some knives built so I'll have the money for those items. It was really fun taking it apart & rebuilding it, it really helps you learn a machine. Very glad I did it. Seeing some of post's in here of others rebuilding theirs inspired me. Now I've got a 6"x18" surfacing machine I need to rebuild.
 
Nice job on the cleanup and paint, I got a follow rest about 3 years ago for my South Bend and it has been collecting dust so I wouldn't get in a hurry to fine one of those.

Outstanding job! Feels good to finally finish a job like that.
 
wonderful job - looks like it found a deserving home, and you a deserving machine.

did you actually rebuild anything on this lathe or just cleaned up and lubed?
