South Bend 9A restoration happening w/pics!!

I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope it can be resurrected with a minimum of additional expense
 
Looks like I've got about 90% of the investment spent. I pre-ordered parts I knew I would need before lathe arrived.

I know that this lathe has been riden hard and long and put away super dirty and unfed with oil.

Even after I cut the spot welds on the spindle the splines are pretty much shot. "Lot" of use wear on them and they could break and give me more grief. See pic in response #33 above. Even the QCGBox had been welded up. Looks like I have a $2 000 investment which would only sell for, after restoration, for about $1500 on a good day. When I finish with it at least I know it will be a good lathe. Guess they will have to bury me with it.
 
Every single oil passage, in the QCGBox, were plugged up and there are a lot of them! They are now open with a lot of tedious work. The two spindle end bearings show lot of wear. "Well in a hundred years what will it matter?"
 
Just ordered a 9A used spindle set and "supposed" to be in excellent condition. s-l1600 (22).jpg
 
"Where can I buy a new screw data plate for the QCGBox?" i see a lot of lathes with new data plates so they have to come from somewhere?

Don't think I need a new QCGB. Just need to give it a little TLC. Gonna clean the weld cracks with a dremel and use JB Weld before painting. It's not non-functional just looks terrible. QCGB hasn't been used in years as all the gears were caked with 80 years of crud and wouldn't even turn.
