Thanks The penetrating oil didn't work, Kroil is good stuff. There is no movement at all and no rust, I'm going to have to dig deeper like you said. Opened the back elec. box one of 3 cap. was laying down, fixed that, machined a rectangle hole in the cover added a single outlet for a light. They...

Thanks for your reply There is no movement at all, I'll try penetrating oil first.

My Dad started getting Popular Mechanics in the 40's, then I keep it up until several years ago, they took the mechanics out and gave it the liberial slant Now I think it's comes out every other month, they sent me a sample issue recently.

I was looking at the first post from Terryt......steam engine and boiler from a January & February 1936 Popular mechanics magazine I don't know how to delete the posts Sorry

The threading hasn't been used for 25+ years, what would cause the half-nut lever be frozen, won't even wiggle a little. Looking under, I see grease. The lever is straight down. Feeds aren't engaged.

They don't go very high but they well carry a heavy load, I put blocking under so when I want to move, I just push the pallet jack under, about 3 1/2" height. https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/hand-trucks-carts-dollies/pallet-jacks.html Some things I keep one under. There is a...

My first lathe was a 11" Sheldon and when I got home, I'm thinking, how am I going to unload this off the pickup. I could ask the farmer, but I don't ask for help. So my Dad and me put long plank under the lathe and slid inch by inch back, then moved the plank back. Stacked fire wood under the...

I just purchased one of these. http://badgerclamp.com/index.html Our basement has dropped ceiling, so I can take a panel out to get to the 2x10. For a 22" wood lathe, I put the lathe on a hydraulic lift table, then raised it, then put the legs on.

I thought Grizzly would get rid of the flat belt and go to V belt and raise the rpm on the Heavy 10. No way could they make it in this country, labor is to high, to many man hours to build.

Grizzly is selling it as a South Bend Heavy 10, but they don't sell parts for it. That lathe is a copy of the Emco Maximat Super 11

Well, it came home with me. I'm going over it, going to change the gear oil, iso 46, need to make a gasket for top gear head cover. I'll be looking for a study rest, carriage stop, set of change gears and maybe 30 tooth gear. I can't believe the apron doesn't run in oil. I have a Shooting Star...
