Great series of videos. I just benched watched all of the ones related to this rebuild. Nicely done! I need to search eBay for that manual/kit for rebuilding one. I am considering buying the same lathe...
last year I watched, rewatching....I have a 1942 13" SB toolroom.....motor went bad, a Fairbanks Morse....1 hp.....put a newer 1.5 hp Lincoln Electric motor on it, and ran on vid 3ph to 3 ph always at 60 hz, but motor failed at 20 hors. not sure what is up......cheers, hope to see more of your videos.....Paul in Orlando,,, I assume you have the cast iron bearings in the head stock....I do, and it is amazing how pristine the spindle is.....a few marks, I need to put oilers in the caps, because I do not want to tear into and put new felts....
The spendle is a mt 4 in the older version which I have 1 7/8" spendle size. Later they made a larger spendle and I'm not sure if it is a mt4 or bigger
@@restoration-projects Thank you very very much for your consideration and reply. That is the exact information I need. Spindle adapters for collets are not cheap and I would hate to get it wrong. God bless you.
