- Thanks for watching! If anyone has any information about this machine please leave it in the comments below.
Serial number: 119415
Lathe information: This is our mid 1900's Seneca falls lathe it has an 11" swing and a 5' long bed, it ways approximately 800lbs.
Check out @austinbrantley776 for more updates
What we did:
Today we took apart the headstock and cleaned it. After we found damage on the bearing surfaces we decided to lightly fold and hone the metal to be a little less sharp. A few other things where accomplished in this video but that’s for you to watch and find out.
(Next week) will be about the gearbox! Cleaning and repairing as well as a fun supprise Thanks for watching! If anyone has any information about this machine please leave it in the comments below.

What we did:
Today we transported the torn down lathe to my house by boat. Next we welded the leg and then cleaned the whole thing. After some serious elbow grease we got the ways looking clean and the bed as-well as the legs clean.
(Next week) will cover headstock take down and clean up. As well as a fun surprise 🤦♂️

I really enjoyed the cat, he seemed super interested.
I am glad the cat is getting more attention than the project😂
I dig the Schrute Farms shirt lol
I am glad it didn't go unnoticed😆
Very nice guys! I also have a seneca falls star lathe just like yours. I have gotten my lathe up and running. I still have some fine tuning to do. I wish my head stock was in as good a shape as yours! Just keep the bearings lubed up. I use white lithium grease in mine everytime I use it. I like your idea about line boring it and getting better bearings in there. But like I said mine is way worse and cuts pretty good. It is pretty acurate also. I will keep watching but keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing! I’m glad to hear someone else has one of these lathes and found these videos.
I would be interested is seeing some videos of your lathe if you have a way we can get in contact?
The tip on white lithium grease is smart. We will definitely try that. And thank you for the support on the videos!
@@ianpalm hey no problem. My lathe is currently apart due to a move and won't be back together till this spring. I'll be doing some much needed maintenance during the reassembly. What's your email address? I have some pics of it.
@@thercbarn5001 ijpalm2004@gmail.com is my email. If you can get to it I would be interested in what the bearing surfaces look like on your headstock.
Find me crazy, but my Seneca Falls 10 inches lathe(1896 made) also had a lot of slack on the copper half bearing on both sides. And as it would have been a nightmare to remove one side of the drums to get the job done and I did not have any replacement's bushings(bearing), so I filled the slack(void) with metal epoxy. That type of epoxy can support oil, so since doing it, there is almost no more play at all. I left just a thin shim of multiple coats of wax before putting the two caps back in place and torqued them back in place. 24h later, I removed all excessive dropping on both side of epoxy, a bit of sand paper(very fine) 80w90 gear oil and it all went good. I have been using it for a year now and no problems at all. I only did the worst side, which was the one closest to the chuck. This summer I will do the other side. The caps have never changed shaped, the bushing parts touching the caps are also perfect shape, so basically, the epoxy filled all excessive worn gaps between to shaft the the inside of the cupper bushings.
