I picked up a new 13” Harrison lathefor the shop the other day. I wasn’t expecting to get into another project butpretty much lost my head when I seen it was the high speed version and had thefollow and steady rest as well as an Aloris t-p and like new Bison chuck. Ithas some issues and the Q-C box will need attention and defiantly needs re-bushed.I cleaned and drained the headstock and the forward/reverse lever for the Q-Cbox needs to be fixed but it looks like everything is there and in goodcondition. A previous owner obviously beat this a bit however the ways are ingood shape and it looks like I should have this up and running to standard witha couple days effort.
It appears to have the original two stage motor but I am notsure if it’s acting up due to dirty contacts or something more sinister.
I do have a few questions for anyone who has one of thesemachines that might be willing to help:
The motor engagement lever bracket mounted on the bed isbroker on mine, does anyone have a pic. of what the badge stated?
What oil did Harrison recommend forthe headstock?
Does anyone know of a parts machine laying around?
Thanks, Earl
