Hey everyone, I am in the process of a deep clean/rehab of a new to me 1941 Logan 200 stamped# "11107" on tail-stock end and "C 10 7" under head-stock. Anyone know what the stamping under the head-stock is? Oct 7th maybe? Maybe the "C" stands for a facility or shift? Were the serials sequential?
I have plenty of other toys, mostly for woodworking and mechanic-ing but this is my first lathe (wood or metal) and I have always wanted one. Seems like another good way to lose a digit. This one kinda fell in my lap from a customer of my brothers wanted some garage sqft back. I bought it sight unseen, he turned it on and showed my brother it spun (he wouldn't know the difference between a lathe and a sewing machine). It also came with a bunch of its original stuff I think. Steady rest, 3 jaw chuck, 4 jaw chuck, 2 face plates, collets w/the tube part w/wooden handle, 11 change gears, 2-3 Jacobs chucks & a bunch of other crap, lol. I'm sure I am missing pieces tho.. It also came with a 30gal parts washer that a smarter man would have used to clean the lathe parts.. All the above for $150 delivered, by my brother.
I didn't even install the motor, I just started cleaning. It was so bad I couldn't look at it. I have the machine apart, mostly cleaned and an starting the reassembly. I am not painting the machine, just a good cleaning. It was covered in filth so bad I had to soak parts in diesel to remove the crud. It had a mangled cross-feed screw on the handle end so I Fleabayd a replacement. I'm sure I am going to have "issues" the community might help me with and maybe in turn somebody else will find it useful.
I have the head-stock partially reassembled at this point. Backgear shaft and gears, spindle, cone pulley & the shift lever assembly that changes the lead-screw rotation are all back on and the head-stock is mounted back on the bed. I'll get some pics and upload them soon.
Here are some pics of the disassembly!
