This lot 1258 includes a coller closer.

My question is, how nard is it to adapt it to my Clausing 6913 lathe?
What is it missing, just the nose piece?

There is a part that normally goes on the ass end of the spindle, that
"mates" with the collet closer body and provides for adjustment and
locking.

Yep!

You also will likely need to make an extension for the draw tube itself
Note its threaded 1.245-20...and you can then silver solder the adapter
to the original after a good cleaning..

Yep! Or just Loctite it. Easier to undo if you get a lathe
which it fits properly.

I cant say what is missing, probably the nose piece. All my lathes have
a 5C spindle nose except for the 1500 Clausing and I dont use 5C in it.

I do have some...some 5C adapters for various lathes..but until you find
out what your spindle nose is.....shrug

His is a MT 4-1/2 for the Clausing L-00 spindle.

I also have some collet closer bodies and tubes that dont fit my lathes
but can be fit to many others.

Useful.

Enjoy,
DoN.
