The tailstock has 9 - 51 stamped on the bottom of the tailstock plate I asked the parts contact at South Bend and was told only that it was an early example that they had no parts for !Please help, I can send you a few photo's via email if it helps. And by 1939, the first Workshop lathe became Model C, and South Bend Lathe (TM) added a Model A and Model B Workshop lathes with the following units: Model A lathes have full quick change gear mechanism for threads and feeds also automatic apron with friction clutch for operating power cross feeds, and power longitudinal feeds. The drive motor assy mounts behind the headstock and it has 3 sizes of pulley, it has "9 1944" stamped on the underside of the bench support brkt. Naturally, very early models are now rare, with only very occasional examples.
#South bend model 34 apron crossfeed serial number#
The index plate has no space for a serial number or a cat number, it just has the screw speed/TPI numbers. By 1918 the South Bend Lathe Company, having been in operation for twelve years, had produced over 17,000 lathes, was employing 350 skilled workers - and had become known world-wide as an exporter of decently-made, well-specified lathes. It has a quickchange unit mounted below the headstock but it has only one tumbler changer. There is no serial number but it has a Cat# on a plate rivited to the gear housing cover, (9" then 3'1/2 then 409-ZN) From this I have been able to identify it as a 42" model 9". it attaches with a bracket, and leave it attached to the saddle and apron.
I've started to strip it down and now need a few parts but having been onto the South Bend web site I'm unable to identify what it is. New shop made South Bend lathe taper cross feed screw and nut for 13 inch. I recently bought a sorry looking example of what I thought was a 1939 model "A" South Bend Lathe.
