[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3581718, member: 5412"] I know where one is at in a barn. It even has an auto feed if one drops a ratcheting lever. The owner told me I could have it, but never got around to actually retrieving it to rebuild. I've rebuilt a couple of lathes that were in disrepair, one wood and the other a flat belt driven South Bend metal lathe that I just used yesterday to remove a bolt broken in a shaft. That job was a bugger. It was for a friend that sheared a mandrel bolt in his grasshopper mower about 1/2 inch deep into the shaft. Everything was right to back the broken bolt out, but it was stuck. Finally realized it was now 3/4 inch deep into the shaft. Yep, left hand thread. I was trying to back out a broken bolt that was bottomed out the wrong way. The top three or four threads were messed up when it sheared, but working it back and forth for awhile with some good oil got them straightened out. [/QUOTE]
