Default South Bend 9" model B

Well, I picked that lathe up I was asking about in the "What is it worth" section. I don't know crap about these things but I think I did okay at $500. The guy said that it was used at an aircraft maintenance facility that he worked at and purchased it but never used it. He also said they didn't use it much either. How old is it? Any tips that you have would also be appreciated.

Todd,

I have an old South Bend that I dearly love! mine is larger and looks to be newer than yours... you got alot of accessories with it... that is where you will find the money

If you can find the serial number on it send it to South Bend.. The guy I talked to said each and every South Bend ever built has a build card.. They claim to still have them all on file.

I think I had to pay $20 for them to search and find mine.. But they promptly sent me a copy of the original build card from 1943! It had ALL the specs on my machine and even had the signature of the guy that had assembled it!! Mine was a military model built for the Navy. It was ordered in 1942 and delivered in early 1943!

The serial ##'s are on the bed sometimes near the tailstock area.
Google south bend year look up when you find the number.
Mine shows up as 1915 and I bought it from the original owner's nephew.
of course mine being that old, parts are NLA.
My look up didn't cost a dime, I got a personal reply from the archive guy, Mr. Engle IIRR
but that was maybe 15+ years ago.
That is a nice little lathe, you did well, lots of goodies and a set of collets ta boot!!
when you find the year, you can get the actual manual book on ebay usually.
also the guys on practical machinist forum are helpful.
I'm guessing it is around the war of after.----- (ok WWII for the younger guys)
You got over $500 worth of accessories.
Now the younger guys with CNC and DRO' experence will not be too excited.
but that will make most anything you want.

Cool old lathe Todd!
Little spit and polish and it will look like new.
Do yourself a favor and get a quick change tool post.

You did well. Like was said, get a quick change toolpost and get rid of that rocker. Yeah its novel and old school, but it was obsolete 40 years ago. The piston type quick change posts shouldn't be too expensive--the wedge style are more accurate but you will pay for it--for repairing Cadets you don't need it. Look into some indexable tooling. You can grind all the HSS blanks you want for grooving/forms etc, but you aren't gonna beat indexable for turning and boring. Porbably something in a CCMT style insert given how small the holders will be. You could get by with one insert for steel and one for alum./plastic--I'd stick with .015 corner rad on both. Should be able to get a boring bar that will run the same insert. MSC, Travers--look at tooling from them.

I prefer a rocker under the tool holder, I can adjust/tune it to anything.but I'm old skool.
a quick change is fine for speed/repeat ability, but who is in a hurry?

You did good Todd!!

I am pretty sure that all the SB's that were made for the Navy (maybe all military?) will be stamped. All the Navy ones I've seen had the Navy anchor stamped near the SN# on the bed. Pretty cool. Looks like you got plenty of tooling with it!


I need to dig out my lathe. I have an Atlas/Craftsman I got a few years ago. I was just starting to figure it out when I moved out of the shop. Shortly before I moved out, I was playing with it and accidentally got it in two gears at once. (I'm not going into detail. I was partially my fault, and partially worn linkage.) So... if I dig it out, I'm going to have to solicit the help on one of our machinists here on the forum to make me some parts. Cause.... I brokeded some.

Nice little lathe, Todd. You'll wonder how you got by so long without it. You got a good deal on it considering all of the extras it came with.

You "think" you did OK? I hope you got a receipt 'cause you stole it.

To put it another way, you definitely earned a "You Suck" with that purchase. ( you did great )

I would suggest an AXA sized wedge style QCTP ( quick change tool post ), You don't need to spend bug bucks on an Aloris or Dorian since an import will do just fine.

Is there a Vo Tech close by with night courses in Machine Trades? LOTS of knowledge and correct operation can be learned there.

You did well

I suggest joining here http://owwm.org/index.php Bunch of good folks without the Practical Machinist attitude.*

* Too many keyboard warriors on PM. I offered suggestions to a guy for a low dollar idea to get something done. I was told straight out I was an idiot, should get another job other than a machinist as I had no idea what I was talking about.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
