South Bend Lathe questions

[vsfiredawg]

I just got a south bend lathe SER. NO. 40124-k and the Catalog NO. CL3-7ORD length 10KX41/2. I need to order some parts for it but I don't know what kind it is. Can someone help with some info. I looked on south bends page and all I came up with is I think it is a Light 10. The person before me wired it up wrong and I need a wiring diagram to fix it. Can not find one on the lathe. Thanks for looking and any help would much appreciated!

Yes you have a 10k ( light ten). If you join the south bend forum on practical machinist there are quite a few knowledgeable people on these lathes . I assume you have questions on the tumbler switch, if you have a model number you might find an old thread on wiring it.

Yep, it's a light ten. I've got a heavy ten made in 1952. Good machines. If I remember correctly, I read that Grizzly machine tools bought them out a few years ago and had taken over supplying replacement parts as well.

There are a ton of Manuals for South Bend on the Vintage machinery web site. You might find what you are looking for there.

I got parts for my Turn Nado from him.

He may still be around.

He is still around and I also highly recommend him. He was very helpful to me when I was rebuilding my SB heavy 9.
