Robert, Thanks for the information.
I have to say at the start I was warned I had something of a "Frankenlathe" and it was likely not 100% Montgomery Ward 04TLC-701A which Logan shows as a 10 inch lathe.
Per your comments, I think Logan may have been similar to Atlas with respect to either not offering a QCGB for the 701 at the time mine was built or it was built without one and adapted later and so a previous owner got the New-All QCGB. I haven't been able to run down much information on either New-All or Western Aircraft Tool Co. but then I'm really a newbie at machine tool research.
Looking in the operators manual and parts book I got from Logan Actuator
I see a number of things different from factory. Others have pointed out some and some I've found that don't appear 'stock' on my MW 701 A:
1.
Pulleys:The manual only shows 3 pulleys for flat belts but mine definitely has 4 V belt pulleys each on the counter shaft and the main shaft.
2.
Brake on spindle: it has some kind of lined brake shoe that acts on a flat wheel next to the smallest pulley. I added a photo of the braking device.
3.
2.25x8 spindle thread: In addition while taking it apart for inspection, cleaning and reassembly I measured the thread on the spindle and it is about 2.25 rather than the 1.5" that the MW 701A apparently came with.
4. I was able to mount a 10 inch 4 jaw chuck that came with the purchase as an extra. It has some, but not much, clearance from the ways. (see photo of mounted 10" chuck) Its very heavy so I didn't leave it there any longer than it took to make a couple of photos. The chuck that was mounted when I bought the lathe was a 6 in. 3-jaw.
5.
Casting modified: The backside of the headstock casting seems to have been cut way down to allow for belt travel on the 4 V pulleys. It looks like a flame cut so I'm guessing it wasn't a Logan job (photo). Question is why and how were the headstock innards changed out or modified?
6.
Spindle Inner Diameter: The inner diameter of the spindle is a bit over 1 inch after the taper rather than the 25/32 called for in the specs. That's a little over .2" larger. Factory or bored out by user?
7.
Bull Gear Pin different? I notice the bull gear pin is described as being pulled out as part of engaging the back gear. I looked and found the pin but noticed there was a small lever next to it that acted to disengage the pin when it was pushed toward the gear. Maybe they were all like this? (see photo of pin and lever) or maybe the bull gear is from an 800 model which Scott Logan mentions as having a lever to actuate the bull gear pin.
8. The different cross slide with two T slots has been mentioned earlier. I did find the factory cross slide in among a couple of old motors (see photo of factory cross slide).
9. Just to review this is the 04TLC-701A tag mounted on the headstock when I bought the machine (photo). I'm guessing that is what it started out as in 1947.
Others who are familiar with Logan may have some logical explanation for these things. This may be 'old hat' to them. For me its a big adventure and a lot of fun learning as I go. Thanks to all who have been generous with their knowledge and nudged me along. I do try to do at least some basic research before I pop up here and ask questions.
