Hope your change gears are a complete set so you can cut the full range of threads. If you can find the serial numbers on it, let me know and I might be able to zero in the vintage.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply. The change gears are complete and the guy I bought it from was nice enough to show me how to properly engage the back gears and pull the pin, etc.

It has the model number on the gear door and says it is out of catalog 35-0, if I remember correctly. I couldn't find any numbers on the right side where they usually are.

Hi Jeff-

Sounds like you’ve got a real piece of history. The fact that it has the ‘Silent chain motor drive’ (clearly converted to a V belt somewhere in the past) would indeed put it in the ’20’s. W/o serial, hard to make a judgment, but if you want to do some poking around this site is a good place to start: The SBL Workshop - Home Warning to others- this is a site only for *total* South Bend machine tool geeks!

Good luck & have fun,
Ken
