Page 6 - also, try the South Bend subforum on Practicalmachinist.com.
By the way, the crossfeed handwheel is not original, would have been a larger version of the one on the compound.
I just noticed - the grease zerk on top of the front bearing is not original, get rid of it; should be a gits type oil cap. And the one for the back bearing is missing. You can get those from McMaster Carr, they either thread in or press in.

Unless the history is important to you, don't waste your money - and at that, you'll only find out when it was sold and to who. Other than that, the serial card will only tell you things that you can already discern from looking at the lathe, and it will include a bunch of numbers regarding accuracy that will mean nothing to you. Save your money, you'll need it for tooling.Order the serial card for it: https://www.grizzly.com/products/south-bend-lathe-serial-card

The geek in me was thinking of a serial communications card, and I didn't think that lathe was new enough to need one. Thanks goodness for the next post, clarified that for me.Order the serial card for it: https://www.grizzly.com/products/south-bend-lathe-serial-card
