2020-01-25 15:33:58 +0000 UTCCool! That foundry is kinda in my back yard lol I'm willing to bet the welded bit was a PTO to run the lathe off a motor.

2020-01-25 00:54:46 +0000 UTCMaybe an auxiliary belt to power the garbage on the floor.

2020-01-24 08:51:25 +0000 UTCMy guess is that the weird chuck would have been for hex bar stock.

2020-01-24 07:20:02 +0000 UTCThe "PTO" you mentioned ... I wonder if there was an "electrification kit" for this (or a way to drive it off a shop-wide pulley system)? Would be a good way for the owner to get more value from the initial purchase by not having to invest in a new powered lathe and still get the benefit of high productivity. And for the supplier, it gives them a way to retain customers being enticed by those new power lathes. Dunno - lots of interesting things happened between 1880 and 1920! Glad you found the collets for the pedal shaft - I couldn't believe they'd just hang it! Seats may have been an off-the-shelf part from a supplier? Great video!!

2020-01-23 19:40:09 +0000 UTCOf all the restorations you've done, this has got to be the machine I would least want to own or operate. But great video as always, and the double sand blaster bonk made me LOL.

2020-01-23 18:43:31 +0000 UTCThat crossfeed handle almost definitely matched the one below it. I don't think I've ever really seen one that is just two balls. You can get them at really reasonable prices on amazon/ebay/etc, they are called "Tri Ball Handles" and just about everyone makes them these days. The HARDER ones to get are the 'U' shaped ones (where both have the handle, instead of ball + handle), but I ended up being able to find one when i needed for my lathe.
