..And with the Invention of The Motor Operated Pushover..
My South Bend 9" 'Workshop' Lathe. Made in 1934. model#504-Z
Had to replace all the electrical wiring, remove a lot of rust (and still more to go) find a motor to countershaft belt, splice the flat belt, and unstick the Headstock main bearings. But it was worth it.
After this milestone, I packed it in for the day 'cause it was very cold, only to have the new lathe centers arrive UPS. I'm using the original ones in the photo, with the one that's grooved and burnt in the headstock (as the live), and the dented/dropped/used-as-a-center-punch one in the tailstock (as the 'dead', with Lots of oil.)
Done following directions from a service bulletin from 1947.
this motor's shaft was frozen, but some penetrating tool oil and tapping with a hammer got it to run. Surprisingly quiet for an old abused motor..
