So I got it running n for the spindle oil I used automatic transmission dextron (not type f), because it's all I had right now n I heard it wouldn't hurt anything. I ran it for about a minute total. Problem is the oil cups for the spindle do not have any felt pads, and the bearings just have...

Long of the short, I shouldn't have but did, and removed the spindle since there seemed to be something causing drag. (1935 craftsman 9 inch lathe, so I'd have to have a new bearing/bushing made, or buy a bushing with the correct interior diameter and manually sand it down the exterior to fit...

So I bought this at the same estate type sale as the other vintage stuff I've posted recently. I bought this for $20.00 23.5lbs. has some surface rust, but nothing bad. 16 inches in length. Good deal or did I pay a bit much? I don't know a whole hell of a lot about some of this old stuff...

Seeing where I may get a new tank for this. Everything else works like a clock. 1hp, 100psi tank (has a pinhole, also was previously welded), and I was at an estate sale and took it on a flyer. If I can't make it work, toss it, $5.00, who cares, I spend more money on garbage food I wish I didn't...

So I got this lathe today for $25. I put whatever there was together and showed what else came with it in the pictures. I put the chuck in the hole, although I just think it's missing a pin, although I don't know what kind, etc. as I'm not familiar with lathes. Not sure if the chuck is broken...

Did they all come with replaceable jaws? Did some of them? Or were they modified to fit later? This one doesn't have them, doesn't seem to have the option or scar marks from previously having them. I'm just making sure if someone who knows, knows. Thanks in advance.

Got this old Athol no 70 for $61.99 off ebay! I'm guessing early 1900's (maybe late 1890's to late first decade 1900's), over a 100 years old. Anybody can vise the age down for me a bit or some info I'd appreciate it. Not in pristine shape, n I know it's small with no swivel, but for under $62...

Hi I recently found this vise on craigslist i was thinking about picking up, and it's asking is $125. It's a reed 25 1/2b (although the #"s very fuzzy). some questions- This looks just like a columbian 5 1/2 vise (I included an image, n that one went for $85 plus shipping whatever that was...
