Default Identifiying lathe I suck at posting

Even if somebody can pin down exactly what it is, there is no way that
Sears or anybody else will have parts for it.

What do you need in the way of parts?

As far as accessories -- if the spindle is a 1 x 8 or any standard
thread (as far as wood lathes go), then buy whatever you like.

If the tapers are MT#1 or MT#2, again, there is lots of stuff out there.

Measure the tapers and spindle and report back and we'll see if we can
be of more help.

Hello,

First let me thank those who helped me get the pictures on my post. As I
expalined in my previous post. My father in law gave me a lathe that
belonged to his father. I can't find a serial number on it so I am having a
hard time tracking down the origianl specs to see if I can get parts and
accessories for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some
pictures of my lathe and that of the 1935-36 Craftsman lathe.

Thanks,

Steve
