I've got no clue who manufactured mine, IIRC it has SOME casting mark on it somewhere, but it wasn't a good 'clue' as to it's origin. Leather belting and lacing are still around, baler lacing will work, and I see it on the shelf at Farm and Fleet (the implement parts area). I know guys that use flat serpentine belts in endless, by unbolting and lifting the spindle through... The other (most clever) drive I've seen, was by a very clever Canuck... he put a 6" tire on a shaft extended off the end of a 5hp gas engine, and used friction drive... on a fairly large lathe, but it did work. If you're gonna go hard-core flat-belt, call me when you got everything set in place and belted, and I'll load this steam engine on your trailer... ;-) it'll power (and heat) your shop, as long as you can find enough solid fuel to feed it!

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

I purchased a lathe with a flat belt, replace with a surprinted belt off of my truck that was a little noisy, shortened and using splicing purchased at old hardware store. Worked fine.

Depressing, I decided to to call an "old timer" guy I knew, into old machines. I figured he would have hands on experience with B&S horizontals. His daughter answered his phone. He just passed away 6 days ago. I did look through a manual for the 000 model horizontal, they show setups with end mills in the #9 taper holders. No draw bar. Steel parts, looked like lights cuts. Dave Kamp, very high batting average!

Brian I did a little research the other night and saw that they Sold one version that didn’t have an over arm. I’m starting to see old end mills with a taper shank. Imagine how much a good one of those would cost now days. |
