Came with a custom steel stand isn't shown in these pictures--I mounted it to one of my shop assembly benches temporarily. A surprise was a dial indicator and a couple micrometers that were hidden in one of the drawer units. It's been well over 40 years since I last used a metal lathe--briefly in engineering school and in metal shop in high school in 1968. Have always wanted one, but up to this point, my tools have been for woodworking. Getting into the Cubs a year ago became the impetus to look for a metal lathe. Was thinking about buying a new one from Grizzly or similar. After working on American iron tractors, decided it only fitting to buy another piece of American iron. I think I did OK for $1000 for the lot.
Looks like a great deal!

That Keyway Broach set is very handy, besides all the other things that go with the lathe.
Now you need to start collecting bar stock

( from the CL ad )


I have an Aloris BXA wedge quick change tool post, a 10" three jaw chuck ( in addition the 8" skinner in the pic), a 12" four jaw chuck, a few MT 3 Jacobs drill chucks , a couple live centers, a bull nose center and a pretty decent selection of tooling.

I didn't pay that much more for mine than you did for yours. The price difference comes into effect with weight. The slightly smaller Logan, SB and Atlas all bring various premiums due to their smaller size and lighter weight.

Not everybody has room for a 4000 lb lathe that's 8' long. Plus I'm used to using industrial machines, my 9" Atlas frustrated me

Jeff is right about the premium price of smaller lathes. You should price Hardinge lathes and attachments. The tailstocks alone have an asking price of $600+. The chucks go for $400+. I have less than the price of a chuck in mine even after I bought a new motor and belts.

Adam, that is a nice machine, we had that same lathe in our shop on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. It is a handy little lathe and I love the ability to quick release collets. I wish I could find a good deal on one close to me. Once my garage is finished I will be searching for sure.

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.
