A friend allowed me to use his lathe today
my South Bend (1916 year) 13”X5’ ,the clutch gears are wasted, I have been unable to find replacement parts. I was able to find suitable parts ( an apron from a South Bend 10”.
I have to cur the clutch shaft off at the gear machine a new shaft (4100 round stock) machine the shaft to fit bore it out.
my friend will weld them up. Then finish the shaft true, cut the threads and fit.
heat took its toll today
I only rough cut t shaft to size.
wife has medical issues so it will be a couple days before I can get back working on it.
pictures to follo.
I liked his Grizzly 13” X 40” lathe, although it has lots more back lash than my South Bend.
