I'm starting to play around with my first lathe, its a slightly crusty Logan 1875. I've already used it for a couple of projects but I would really like to restore it. A manual for it would be an ideal way to start... does anyone have a digital one they would like to share?

That's a nice looking lathe.
The 1875 is listed in this 1953 catalog available for free download from the Vintage Machinery web site: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=3392
You can order a manual and parts list direct from Logan here ($25 for a soft copy, a bit extra if you want a hard copy shipped):

Also see the FAQ link on this page: http://www.lathe.com/
But, $25 for a PDF... Wow.
No doubt I'll likely end up paying for it. I've just never had to pay, nor heard of anyone having to pay for a parts manual from the business who sells the parts.
