Doesn't seem to look exactly like any heavy 10's I've seen... and doesn't look like any 9A's I've seen either.

I think it's what's called a "light ten" -? or 10R

Looks Like a 10 k, smaller spindle bore.

The ad does not state the model. Looks like a 10K to me, also called a Light 10.

Just based upon the look of the tail stock, it looks like a cabinet mounted 9a to me. The 10K’s have a different tailstock.

Thanks guys, it does look like what I'm seeing when I search for "South Bend Lathe 10k".

edit: that tailstock does look like it was thrown on there, wrong color to begin with...

Yup that is a 10K

This is a picture of one of my heavy 10s. The Headstock is very different.

Looks like a 9A under drive. The apron on the 10"s were different.

It has the "fast change" reverse tumbler so it's a light 10.

Why 9s didn't come with that "feature" is beyond me, the bolt is annoying. Heck my 6" Craftsman has it.
