This lathe was decommissioned from a SE MN foundry a few years back. I acquired it from the scrappers. I was moving it around the shop and decided to take pictures for submission. It's mostly there, I am just missing tooling AFAIK. It ran when it was decommissioned, everything is free currently. I needed to remove the headstock, tailstock, and motor in order to lift it with my forklift. Information and pictures will be updated as I acquire more information and better pics.

The outboard toolrest stand can be seen, as well as the 48" double post rest. Both banjos are there as well as some stuff for the compound. The interesting thing about this lathe is the separate 1/4 hp single phase gearmotor to run the carriage. The belt guard can be seen on the tail end picture.

The green is most likely a foundry brush job. It is currently peeling to reveal the same battleship gray that is on the outboard stand.
