This lathe was in my grandfather’s machine shop (Ajax welding and machine shop) in Brooksville Florida since the 1980’s. When the shop closed in early 2000’s, my father drove down there (from Casper Wyoming) to visit. Not knowing they were clearing out the entire shop, this was the only machine left, and was heading to the scrap yard. My father purchased an enclosed trailer while he was there and loaded it up. He trailered it back to Casper Wyoming where we live. It sat in that trailer for a few years until he built a shop. Then it sat in his shop untouched for several more years. In October of 2024 he asked me if I would be interested in doing something with it. I didn’t hesitate, as I had admired this machine for many years. I had spent a few months working in his shop in 2003 and had ran this lathe a couple times. So my father loaded it up and brought it to my shop on 10-13-24. After tearing it down, cleaning, and repairing many worn parts over the winter, I then painted all parts and got it back together by October 2025.
