George - I have watched your series of videos on the South Bend so much I feel like we are old friends! Not only do you explain the way the parts are placed back together but also explain how everything works together. Just a great series of videos here. I have used your instruction to rebuild my South Bend 13” from beginning to the almost end. I just need to finish up my apron and cross-feed. You have provided such valuable information here! I can’t thank you enough.
Hey, thanks for the nice comment, I am glad the videos were helpful. I created, in this series, videos I could not find on the SB Lathe.
The parts in the apron look brand new. Most are all chewed up and worn from lack of oil.
This is the best tutorial on the web. I wish someone would take the time and do this for other lathes.
Well done sir.
Hey, thanks for the nice comment
The more I watch your videos, George, the more they have helped. Invaluable assistance in my rebuild. I have the Ilion book as well, so between the two of you guys....I got this. Thanks so much!
During the portion of my rebuild today I learned a valuable lesson....do not get that aircraft paint remover on your skin. Bad deal.
Hey, you must be working your way through the series. Yes, exposure for more than a few seconds is painful. Powerful stuff!
George, very nice videos. Appreciate your sharing your knowledge and your skill of video production. Your videos are concise, to the point and well planned out.
Great Job and Thank You !
Joe
Thanks Joe, I am glad they are helpful
George, i picked up my 13" south bend a couple weeks ago and decided to check out some videos before i started it up.. ( i had a heavy 10 some years ago and then upgraded to a MSC gear head ) but i was concerned that i might damage this lathe due to my unfamiliarity with it. After watching your videos over and over i believe i could take this apart and put it back together with my eyes closed... again many thanks..
Joe
Thank you! Thank you! This is just a great explaination of the apron assembly. I am embarking on a Heavy 10 restore and this assembly looks identical, maybe a smaller version? This is so helpful. Any tips for drive out those darn taper pins?
You are welcome. Glad the videos are helpful. Yes, your Heavy 10 will be identical, only smaller. You should, if not already, get a parts diagram, to help with your understanding of the assembly. The important part of taper pin removal is to find the small end, hit it hard with good support so that the force of the blow is directed at the pin, and not in deforming the shaft. The other videos in this series may also be helpful. Good luck.
Great to hear. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing video of it run.
you are welcome
Nice and detailed restoration video
Thanks for the comment, check out the other videos in the restoration series.
Thank you for these, I am goimg to do mine this summer, and your videos show very well what i am in for, May I ask where you got the bronze bushings for the gearbox?
Thanks
Mark
You are welcome, I am glad the videos are helpful. Gear box bushings are all nominal sizes, and can be purchased on line... Mcmaster Carr, eBay or any number of other sites.
Great video! I am working on a 16” southbend now, can you explain how you put the apron back on the lead screw after restoring it?
Thanks for the nice comment.... sure, I should have shown this on the video. Turn the screw gear on the apron so that the key slot is on the bottom, you may need to assemble the apron so the slot is on the bottom, you may not be able to turn it after assembly. Remove the bracket on the end of the lead screw. And slide the apron on from the back side. The thing is heavy, be careful not to stress the bearings on the lead screw. Get the key slot on both on the bottom so gravity holds the key in place when you slide on the apron. Good luck.
George, I have a question that might be silly, but unfamiliarity, and for the sake of safety and mechanical well being I will ask: For transport of the lathe do I need to (and if so how) lock the carriage to prevent it from traveling backward or forward on the ways? My concern stems from the mode of transport which will include slowly winching the machine (on a pallet) at an angle down a flatbed trailer. I'm not sure it's possible on the 13", but I've heard of someone moving a lathe and having the tail stock slip off the back end of the machine. Needless to say ,I'll snug that down, but my concern is with the carriage.
There is a carriage lock similar to the tail stock, nut it not as robust. You can find it on the right side of the saddle. In addition you might want to engage the cross feed and the clutch which will provide additional protection from sliding. When transporting be extra careful to route the chain or belt doing the lifting so not to bend the lead screw or other appendages on the machine. Email PargoLongAgo@Yahoo.com
Fantastic. Thank you so much. The load on will be by pallet loader, so hopefully that goes smooth. The unload will be the slide inching down the flat bed with a winch. I was thinking of the winch point being from heavy duty straps between chip pan and bed under the tail stock area, so I'm clear of the lead screw and hopefully the lead screw end bracket -AND/OR weaving straps through the pallet slats and terminating behind the tail stock end of the machine to be grabbed by the winch. The lathe will be lag bolted to the pallet. I am aware of the potential for sharp casting edges to be wary of so as to not dig in and sever any straps.
Sounds like you have a plan. Secure to the bed and headstock, and keep the center of gravity below the lifting point. Good luck!
