So I haven’t found any change gears. Are any needed with the qcgb?
Ok. Can these still be sourced new or do I need to look into eBay?Only if you want to thread some unusual imperial threads which the QCGB cannot handle, or metric threads.

Dang.I paid $800. The ways don’t look bad. It came with 6 chucks. Looks like a set of 3c collets and draw bar. A ton of loss stuff in the bucket.
Dang.
Yes. Good deal to say the least.
If you want to do a full rebuild, I highly recommend getting one of Steve Well's kits. The full kit is on ebay for 99

(no connection other than I used his book and supplies to rebuild my 9a)
Meant to note:
The South Bend was the first machine tool I bought for my home shop. I had never operated one before and started tearing it apart the day after I bought it. Tearing down, cleaning, painting and rebuilding it was an incredible education on the inner workings and helped me immensely in learning the basics of how a lathe works.
Congrats! Looks like a good un!Hey guys I got my first lathe tonight. A deal I felt that I couldn’t pass up came along.
