Well for better or for worse I am the proud owner of a Cincinnati lathe for the ranch shop.
I have been looking for a while now but needed the right conditions. Ideally someone who would be willing trade for an antique tractor. An 800 mi round trip later and serial #5501R2-73-38 is sitting in my shop. She's got shifting issues but otherwise looks good to the untrained eye. (The sellers advised me of the issues before we started haggling)
So now I need a bit of help decoding the serial number so that I can find the correct manuals. Theres not a lot of info out there on these lathes.
Oh yea,, I took pics but left the camera sitting on top of the lathe. I will run back out there this weekend and postem when I get back.
Thanks
