Re: Spindle oil felts in early lathe. I have seen these bronze oil fill cuts up to the 1915 10 inch . Both my 1910 and 1914 head stocks have them. There should be a ball end oil plug in them Posted - Mon Nov 9, 2009 11:23 pm	Dennis Turk turkdr_dalto... Offline Send Email
Re: Spindle oil felts in early lathe. [2 Attachments] Yes you have the correct oil cups for an early 10 inch like mine. I do have the plugs that go in these oil cups. The bearings really look OK John. I wish Posted - Mon Nov 9, 2009 11:21 pm	Dennis Turk turkdr_dalto... Offline Send Email
Re: Spindle oil felts in early lathe. Hi Richard, South Bend says the shipping date was January 1915 so that is the date I use. The serial number 2568 seems to indicate a manufacture date of 1913 Posted - Mon Nov 9, 2009 9:32 pm	John Maurer jmaurer9999 Offline Send Email
Re: Spindle oil felts in early lathe. [2 Attachments] Hi John, Curious about when your lathe was built. I have not seen oil fill ports like yours. Regards, Richard [Attachment(s) from John Maurer included below] Posted - Mon Nov 9, 2009 9:06 pm	richard sheckler hughlaverne Offline Send Email
