I have been looking for information on a very old Craftsman wood lathe. I cannot find any model number. Most parts have part numbers cast into them.

Everything is on the lathe except the rear center that goes into the tailshaft. I would also like to find the manual for this machine. I have called around and was told Sears used to carry parts for this lathe, I checked, no more. Oct 31, 2011. I recently perchased a montgomery ward 34fd899a wood lathe. Was wondering if anyone knew any info or anything about it.what color of paint.

I have disassembled it to see exactly what I have vs need. Wonder if anyone can help me with a few issues?

I am looking for: any manual (I think someone is sending a pdf file) the tail stock clamp, part L2-7, someone used a hunk of steel plate instead tail stock hand wheel w handle, part 9-23 the correct tool rest, may be part 9-333 the head stock base, part L2-2, part of it broke out, another one would be nice but not absolutely necessary. What motor would you advise, hp, rpm, clockwise rotation, etc Concerning rust removal, EvapoRust is awesome stuff. Thanks very much. Since posting this to a couple other forums I have learned that this lathe is probably from 1935 or 1936. It is Craftsman's cheapest model.

Could have been made by Dunlap. Could have been made for Montgomery Ward. Bearings are of very poor quality at best, not ball bearings, do not know how it would perform if I ever get it running. Might have better success getting parts if someone has given up on trying to get theirs working and just want to get rid of it.

Anyway it only cost me $3.00 at auction. Not a major cash outlay. Thanks for any suggestions. That looks to be a restorable spindle lathe. There was a lot of machinery with sleeve bearings. Takes a drop of oil at the start of every session to assure the bronze sleeves are not dry.

They are easily found and are replacable if they develop too much 'slop' Not a watch makers lathe, but with a 1/4 to 1/3 hp motor, will give good service for spindle work the like. If you are not into getting a precise vintage restoration, will make a fun little lathe with a more modern tool rest. Many adaptable parts are available for hand wheels, levers, etc from Granigers, McMasters Carr, and the like. What is a bit puzzling is that my lathe actually has Craftsman 9' cast into the base.

There are no other identifying marks anywhere on the base. If it says Craftsman, maybe it is safe to assume that Craftsman manufactured it, not Dunlap, not Atlas.

Then, looking at a few of the owner's manuals on lathes very similar to mine, some part numbers seem to be used between models, rather than being specific to one model. The lathe came assembled. I disassembled to see just exactly what I have as well as to do some rust removal. It might be a good idea to at lease replace the bronze sleeve bearings in the headstock. With not much knowledge on machining, I am a bit uncertain about how to proceed, as well as size of bearings, and their source. That looks very similar to a J-line lathe I had once.

Inspiration 7 5 Crack Serial Keys. I don't remember how the headstock spindle came out because it's been too many years. I've had a lot of lathes apart and usually they are held in place by either set screws or in some cases the tailstock hand wheel or a nut on that end pushes things together.
