New Logan 820 (to me)

Oh geez am I stupid or what? Can I beg off on oral surgery and now solid proof I need to just shut up because I obviously didn't lock on what you had written? Sorry. The intent was good. I'm going to go crawl under a rock and try to sleep this off.

Photos from the Logan group. Someone just bought one…



And there is the toggle switch

I finally had a few minutes to continue cleaning up the legs and pan, and check out the draw bar / collets. I have to write, they didn't clean up the legs castings all that closely.

That drawbar with the collet set…so cool, just so cool…

I've been tearing into the headstock to get an accurate accounting of its condition. She's definitely seen some wear and tear, but as the previous owner indicated, the bearings are fresh. One thing I noted is that the take-up nut on the main bearing was loose and off the threads. Logan has some for sale, but the price is formidable. Any insight to a spanner nut that works (for either take-up nut), that would be a straight replacement?..or insight into the Logan replacements? Are they any different than the original to tighten?
The punch and hammer approach seems crude, but I suppose with some blue lock tight would work as it originally did. Insight into how far past hand tight is considered sufficient preload on the newer replacement bearings?
...onward to the back gears.

Thank you for the update. Can't wait to see more photos. We like photos

@D. Kent - Can you share a photo of the Follow Rest that came with your lathe?

She looks pretty well used; an item that will be toward the end of the list of cleaning.

Prior to paint....I ended up settling on feet, for now. They've arrived. The 28T back gear was pretty sharp and both the bushings to ends of the shaft were sloppy. I found the back gear lock pin on the underside of the lever, where it should be. It looks pretty worn.

As to your main bearing take up nut, I have an old Logan 200 spindle that was seriously abused. I set it aside with the thought of checking out the main bearing, just in case it was still usable (bearing still on spindle).

The Logan 200 take up nut looks like it has a 1-3/8 inch x 18 TPI internal thread. Outside diameter is about 2-1/4 inch. If by some chance the your machine uses the same nut, let me know.
