Thread: Soutbend 9" Model C Lathe

G'day John and welcome along.
The guys in the Hercus forum may be able to help you with the manual and feed chart.
As for the gear there are a couple who make them. I could do that but I'm in Adelaide. Ueee (Ewan) is Canberra based so may be your best bet to make up a replica or help you repair.

The serial no on the bed is VB367 which I do not seem to be able to reconcile with other web sites. The bed does not have any other marking or lettering other than a brass plaque on the back side with a Machine No SG 26.

Need a manual if any one has one or a pdf of one.

Need a Chart of Threads and Feeds which is missing off the gear cover. I have found a copy but very difficult to read. Would be great to have an orignal to mount on the machine.

Also looking for a new back gear (Left hand end gear) as one there at present is missing a few teeth and has been rebuilt a few times.

If you message me your address I will photo copy the charts that I have and hope these will be of some help David
