I recently acquired a Montgomery Ward Power-Kraft lathe model #
15TLC-2136 and found a piece to be missing. The piece is a small
"latch key" according to the parts drawing and it holds the back gear
lever in the engaged position, there is also a small spring so you can
push the lever to put it back in. Hope I`m describing it ok. The parts
drawing #`s are as follows LA-238 spring and LA- 264 latch key. Does
anyone know where I could get one, or if somebody has this same
machine would it be possible to trace the key so I could make my own?
Thanks, Craig

A quick Google search reveals it would be a Logan lathe. Didn't see
any hits on your model number.

In which case, keep your eyes open for a posting by Scott Logan
here (he auto-posts a FAQ every two weeks, IIRC), and contact him to ask
about parts. Hi folks made the original lathe, and they still make
parts for most of them.

Good Luck,

When I bought my Logan, the same part was missing. Getting a new
one was no proble. Logan Actuator Co. should have just about any part you
need for your machine.

This is a 10" x 31" lathe built by Logan Engineering Co. for
Montgomery Wards. Probably built around 1951. It would be similar
to, but not the same as, a Logan Model 211.
