That is so nice of them to give these old tools to you. They have no real use in a commercial shop anymore, and same in many hobby/home shops. For the 'true enthusiasts' these oldies are still quite useful, and are absolutely well worth preservation and restoration.
I am really looking forward to watching this series as I have the exact same lathe in the basement and most of the same attachments. Looking forward to learning how to better use it.
I grew up with the same model. I brought home an old elevator door operator motor and my dad in his retirement installed it with a fancy controller. Since it was DC with a separate field it could crawl with full torque.
Just what Mr. Pete needs....another lathe! Looking forward to the next videos on this machine. I started watching your channel because I was seriously looking to buy a small lathe. I haven't got one yet but still looking and watching Mr. Pete.Al B in Ohio.
I'm glad that you put the subtitle in that it was supported by a cable winch. I was getting very nervous when you stepped in front of that thing and it was sitting on the ramp with the front legs.
At my last job I worked in a machine shop for 5 years. I kind of miss it I didn't quite pick up the machinist trade but I did learn alot from the othet machinists
Glad to know that lathe was restrained by a cable wench. I thought we were about to see 'Home Alone: The Tubalcain Edition'. Look forward to see the videos on it!
Hey Mr Pete that’s a beauty I hav a 1937 model looks the same as the one I picked up a few years back nice machine cant wait for your next video about it
That`s a beauty. Recently sold the older south bend I bought at the auction you and I were at to a man in Wisconsin who was just getting started in machining.
This South Bend is like mine. No gear box. I need to make a space for it, and move it from my mom's house. Serial number places it between 1930 and 1932. If I remember correctly. There's a ding in one of the ways that could use a fix, and my grandfather replaced the buffalo hide belt with a couple of rubber belts, and moved the forward/reverse switch to a different location. I'd like to have a proper catch tray. Perhaps one day.
I'm in the UK and have one that I rescued from going to scrap. If I have it right it dates to the mid 30s. I have never really used it as I didn't have power to my shed in the beginning. Needs a good clean up, a lot of surface rust on the machined surfaces but it's well coated with oil. So I will watch with interest.
The dead center grease cup on the tailstock seems to be missing the baton, but it does serve to validate the age of this beautiful hunk o' iron, nice guy that donated it.
Hi Lyle. I would have liked to have seen more of that '66 Chevelle. My dad gave me one as a high school graduation present in 1972. He paid $400 for it and had my brother-in-law repaint it the same dark green color it was. It was my 1st car. It had a 283 engine with power brakes, but no power steering, so it had a huge steering wheel. I was barely 5 ft tall then, so my dad raised the front seat up with wood blocks. I still had to look out the windshield through the steering wheel. By the way, looks like a nice lathe and with collets.
I recently acquired the same model, and can't wait to find out how to manually change the feed rate by switching out the gears. There's a lot of TH-cam videos on the model "A", but the "C" resource info is scarce. So glad you got one Mr Pete!!! Let the lessons begin!
Hello Mr. Pete! Great lathe, of course, but what really struck me was that table someone fabricated for it. Looks like a really nice job, with some good design ideas. Enjoy your new machine.
Amazing!! These are beautiful to look at. I want one and will find a way to sneak it into the garage when the wife is not looking, lol... Always looking forward to your videos...
I have a couple of questions. When did they notice the creek was missing and where do they last remember seeing it. These are important pieces of information to find anything that is lost. Thanks for the video.
Holy Cow! Is Matt getting out of the business? All that empty space in the shop is something I have never experienced there. Always have to do a combination of the limbo and twister to get a look at everything that has come in since my last visit.
HI there , Thanks for all you do for the home shop machinist . Looks like you may have gotten 2 drawbars with your new lathe . If you decide you would like to get rid of one let me know . thanks
6:40 Well, it looks like you got home without having to brake particularly hard. Had you done, you might have found that suddenly you had a tailstock in your trunk !
It's just a week till Christmas and I would sure like Santa to make a gift to me like that! I am so jealous, so Santa would probably just leave me a lump of coal.😢
The wife gets so scared when I'm moving heavy equipment. I tell her with a winch, ramps, pipes for rolling, a steel pry bar, 4x4's as a fulcrum I could build the pyramids. She finds no humor in that.
Looking forward to this series also! The older (early 1928 9C) 22-RC is staring at me right now and it's so fun to see the similarities and yet the differences between them. I gotta ask, do you happen to know if the T slot for mounting the tooling is the same? Need a lantern post so I wonder. Thank you sir! Such fun in your videos!
Hi, I was wondering what machine would be the most beneficial first to buy, a lathe or a small milling machine. I'm just a 64 year guy who likes to fool around in my garage. I can't really afford both but would like your opinion. Thanks, love your Videos.
A big milling machine, put a lathe chuck in the spindle and tool in the vise and you can use it as a lathe as well. No single point thread cutting capabilities unless converted to cnc but it's a 3 axis machine. To mill on a lathe you need to mount an additional axis and it's a lot more fuss
Looks like rollers to support the end of a shaft that doesn't have a countersunk hole in the end for a tailstock live center. May be used for turning pipe stock?
@@TinkeringJohn An end of bar fixed steady, you mean - interesting suggestion and it's something I've not seen before. And live centres are in the headstock - the fact they're driven is what makes them live. People use rotating/running/revolving centres in the tailstock - as well as dead ones.
@@millomweb Revolving tailstock centers are live centers even if they are not driving the stock. If you think of it, the tailstock center is being driven. The headstock center is the driver.
@@TinkeringJohn But they're not called live centres, they're as I said revolving centres, etc. We wouldn't be having this conversation if the confusion hadn't been created by people calling a revolving centre a live centre.
Hey Mr.Pete! Have you ever ran across a 1918-20 victor lathe? I've got one a couple days ago and I was wondering if you know anything about them or even seen one
My son is in the Air Force and will be retiring soon He loves working with guns and rifles and wants to build parts and do repairs , would a machine like this do that work , or do we need to look at a dedicated gunsmith lathe?
You know, Lyle, you should get professional help for your lathe obsession. Free, or not. Sometimes, you just have to say no. My mom’s old rule used to be that every time something new came in, something old must go out.
Funny how people just give you stuff then you post a video with the comments shut off because you’re trying to sale some stuff to people,,,I guess the gift of giving doesn’t apply to you. Lmao.
Glad you had some help getting it unloaded.
That was a wonderful gesture from John Collings, and they keep following you home 😎 😎
You've been blessed with many friends in this journey through your life . Says a lot about your integrity and honor .
Thank you very much
John thank you for sending this beautiful machine to Mr.Pete so we all can enjoys its work

Luv these older machines, my first lathe was a 1938 Sheldon 11"- used it for 30 yrs.
That's great. I'll be looking forward to seeing it in use.
$6 a month. Those days are long gone.
It's a year older than me and in better condition,
I am really looking forward to watching this series as I have the exact same lathe in the basement and most of the same attachments. Looking forward to learning how to better use it.
Another beautiful addition to the shop Mr Pete! Can't wait to see it making chips!
That's a sweet old trailer you have there Mr. Pete. I love the old bias ply tires! That is a sweet little lathe.
What a fantastic. gift and it was born in a very good year
I sometimes think I should live in Ottawa Illinois and not Ottawa Ontario. Love that machine tool company.
I grew up with the same model. I brought home an old elevator door operator motor and my dad in his retirement installed it with a fancy controller. Since it was DC with a separate field it could crawl with full torque.

Mr Pete is Smaug, sitting on the top of his hoard of machines.
👍👍
I picked up a 1938 south bend 9 model c you can still see the flaking on the ways and bottom of the tail stock. It's a honey of a machine.
Sounds like a good one
@@mrpete222 the cool part is it has the push button switch with the original instant reversing motor. I got lucky and picked it up for 500$
I'm glad that you put the subtitle in that it was supported by a cable winch. I was getting very nervous when you stepped in front of that thing and it was sitting on the ramp with the front legs.
Great purchase and a great brand...no messing around with a South Bend.
Very nice! What a cool machine, and great friends at Lost Creek!
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! That’s a really nice lathe with goodies included
At my last job I worked in a machine shop for 5 years. I kind of miss it I didn't quite pick up the machinist trade but I did learn alot from the othet machinists
I'm just trying to buy a lathe, and you got people giving them to you🤣 . Very nice.
Absolutely a beautiful machine, thank you for sharing
Great South Bend lathe, just from the few closeups, it looks like the ways still have most of their scrapping intact, very nice.
Thanks 👍
Sure is nice having friends! Good luck with this new acquisition. Awaiting the series. Thank you for sharing Mr. Pete.
👍
Matt has a velvet touch with the forklift!!!! Congrats!!!!!
Nice addition Mr Pete. I see the adjustable belt on the power supply - nice !!
Glad to know that lathe was restrained by a cable wench. I thought we were about to see 'Home Alone: The Tubalcain Edition'. Look forward to see the videos on it!
Yeah, it always pays to have a good wench nearby!

I should be selling too. lol
Very nice! And what a gift. I look forward to seeing future videos with the lathe.
That's a nice lathe.
Thanks Mr Pete for sharing this with us! Awesome machine!
Well done,Mrpete.Thank you.
I have a 10k South Bend lathe I bought for $250. Now I'm building a $50k shop to wrap around it. My math only makes sense to people like us.
That’s my favorite kind of math
When I was much younger I put a $3000 souped up engine into a $500 rusted out 1941 Chevy truck 🤪🤔.
My parents just shook their head.
Beautiful. I'm not too far from Ottawa. I'll have to source from them on the future!
looking forward to the journey!👍👍👍

your going to love it i have one just like it built in 1943
I just bought this same lathe. My first one. So glad you've got one and I can learn from you. Thanks for the content.

A very nice donation.

Hello Mr. Pete! Great lathe, of course, but what really struck me was that table someone fabricated for it. Looks like a really nice job, with some good design ideas. Enjoy your new machine.

Thanks for the video.

If you keep your shop sufficiently messy, she will never notice
Hi Mister Pete,nice little lathe I love the aluminum gantry outside the shop.
Great! I've got a similar SB 9" waiting for me to retire and learn to use it. I'll be following along. Subbed
A man can never have too many lathes. I've got five: 3 metal, 2 wood ;-)
👍👍
Very nice!
Love it. Can't wait unit you start making chips on it for us. Thanks for another great video.
I have a couple of questions. When did they notice the creek was missing and where do they last remember seeing it. These are important pieces of information to find anything that is lost. Thanks for the video.
Might be a good project for Bubba and Boudero to start a search party...😂😂
Looks like a sweet little machine! Don't you wish they still had 1954 prices (much less 1938...)
I had a 30's model just like it. The feed engagement lever on the apron was the only difference I could see.
Congratulations with the new SB. Also, nice to see your new video quality 😁😁👍 best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰
👍👍
Yeah!

So jealous of the attachments. Im in weeki wachee Florida. Hello john in jupiter. Hear you guys been getting some Haitians coming a shore.
I saw that on the news last night, totally lawless nation
@@mrpete222 gonna get a whole lot worse with this administration in office.
Its like they want an end to America as we knew it.

👍
6:40 Well, it looks like you got home without having to brake particularly hard. Had you done, you might have found that suddenly you had a tailstock in your trunk !
Mrs. let me pick out a Christmas Gift for my 9A so I ordered a 6” 4-jaw chuck and an AXA set from Little Machine Shop.
👍👍
@@mrpete222 I have to go back and find your video about cutting a chuck backing plate. I hope our local Horrible Fright has transfer screws. . .
It's just a week till Christmas and I would sure like Santa to make a gift to me like that! I am so jealous, so Santa would probably just leave me a lump of coal.😢
Y' say it was built in '52? Man, I was "built" in ''51....an' this thing looks a LOT-better in shape than me, lol! ☺
I see you made a new tailgate, since your friend didn't bring it back after borrowing the trailer.
I made it out of old deck boards I found in a burn pile
The wife gets so scared when I'm moving heavy equipment. I tell her with a winch, ramps, pipes for rolling, a steel pry bar, 4x4's as a fulcrum I could build the pyramids. She finds no humor in that.

Definitely a lathe
Aahhh, the old "metric or imperial" argument. I suggest you start with one, knowing you'll want the other as well. Best wishes on your journey, mate.
Yep a lathe
2:45 What tool's fitted in the tailstock ?
Looks like rollers to support the end of a shaft that doesn't have a countersunk hole in the end for a tailstock live center. May be used for turning pipe stock?

@@giannirocco7492 Haven't even looked into it yet. whatever is fair.

Too bad we can't buy new lathes for the prices in that old brochure.
I've never seen a TH-camr get so much free stuff without even a single League of Legends shill.
How much does a south bend lathe cost
Look around, there are always a couple on eBay. You might get lucky and have one in your state.
