I recently picked up a used g26-T and have been looking for a decent parts diagram and manual. South Bends webpage simply says "look on our webpage" so any help would be appreciated. Also, im curious if the yahoo forums ive heard about are still active as Im not a yahoo member. Thanks for your time and for contributibg to this forum!

Yahoo Groups has been going through a reorg or something. Might need to do a 'News' search on that.
If I recall correctly it was mostly centered on 9"ers back in the day.
Have you found this in your searches? http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbendg26t/ they state at the top that there's a manual available but it returns a 404 error, might contact Tony.
Looks like most of the other imports from that time frame.

Wikipedia says this about Yahoo groups:
Yahoo! has announced that, as of January 31, 2020, all content posted to Yahoo! Groups will be deleted.

I am a member over there; a search on "southbend lathe" finds this:

So it is not real obvious which group would have what you need.
I currently do NOT belong to any of those individual groups.

Also, if the Wikipedia reference is correct, would they even be taking new group members now?


I know _some_ groups moved to "groups.io" and I did join and poke around a little.
However a search over there for "southbend" only finds this:

So I do NOT see what your path forward is, sorry!

Good Luck!

@canadianA ,

I just did some basic searches on both yahoo groups and groups.io for "southbend G26" and found NOTHING!

There may be a facebook group for Southbend lathes, but that's NOT something I will ever join, so you're on your own there.

Wow thankyou everyone for your hard work! Im going to downoad those and post them online for future g26t owners. I think part of the issue is that theres a g26 model, and a g26-t model and theyre completely different. Also some people list their g26-t's as g26t and g-26t . Whats google-fu? Is that pig laten?

You need to brush up on your Google-Fu a bit.

Oh i realize now, i found that link already. They want 30lbs fot that manual, thats $75 canadian... Plus shipping. Not to sound cheap, but For a manual from 1996 that was listed online for free up until recently. For $75 it better be 2" thick and hand signed by queen elizabeth.
