I picked up an old lathe yesterday which seems to be in good shape! The previous owner said that It was a South Bend.I was just wondering if I posted a picture could someone help identify it? There isn't much for markings on it! I've read where some South Bend lathes had the serial numbers sampled on the bed under the tailstock. There is only the number "1" sampled on the bed.A couple gears are stamped with"Browning".
It is belt driven from a counter shaft and a 1 1/2HP 220V electric motor.
The plate that has all of the threading information on it is missing.
It came with some tooling,faceplate,4 jaw chuck,reversing switch and extra belting.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks ! Jerry

So when did Grizzly buy SouthBend

Hey CKCowboy, Thanks for the tip on the web site. Looks like that may be the place to get an answer to my question!

I don't believe they did. I think Grizzly is a distributor for South Bend products.

I'd like to see some pics of that south bend lathe for sure!
