Brand new to this fine group; I hope that someone here may assist me in helping identify my 1941 South Bend Lathe that I just inherited from my Wife's machinist grandfather. Here is what I know for sure: On the headstock cover, ther is a nomenclature plate with the following info: Catalog #: 197-A Model #: B-10 Bed Length: 4' It has UH-102 stamped on the headstock, with what appears to be a 1 7/8 x 8 T.P.I. spindle, Model 4206-53 South Bend/Skinner chuck; 4 jaw; no keyway inside spindle. I talked with someone at SB; he is not real sure of what I've got, but he did give me a copy of the original build card. He's a real nice guy.
I assume that this is a "Heavy 10"; but I am not sure. I would like to find/buy another chuck and other accessories, such as a double tumbler quick change gear box/lead screw & whatever I'd need to mount the box....etc...Anybody have these items for sale, or would it be simply impossible to do??? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!
