Mobil 1 Vactra No. 2 is what I use. Way oil will make your lathe a whole new tool, and i've found a lot of other good uses for it too!

That lathe is awesome! It is sad to hear that it would have been scraped if you did not save it. Same with the air compressor terrible if that went in the hopper. Why folks don't start to liquidate before it gets to the point of paying to throw good equipment away is hard for me to understand
I came across this old Husky saw with a bunch of other stuff that was headed to the dumpster. Saw a craigslist add that said lots of stuff accumulated over 25 years, moving and want to sell what I can before the dumpster arrives. Guy was a couple years older then me has two teenage sons so there were parts to mowers, go carts, dirt bikes and snowmobiles.
I believe this saw is a 180S. It has spark and good compression
Any details or interest from members who collect saws please chime in

It's just a really old and tired 1/2 hp. Maybe one day I'll "Tim the Toolman Taylor" it up and put a 2 or 3 hp on there. Works good for what I need so far though, so I'm in no hurry. My blacksmithing setup will be done soon, so I'll definitely have some work for her.
Ragin' full on...
It looks huge

Old electric motors are very large in comparison to modern ones. I had a 5 horse that required a forklift to sig into position.
Nice...those old torches look neat all polished up and cleaned.
My Father in law grew up on a farm in Indiana and he laughs when he goes to a store or goes someplace and see's steel Buckets for sale for use as a decoration... he cannot get his head around people buying something he used as a kid to carry s**t around in and other stuff, to be used in side their house as a decoration. lol,lol,lol... My mom on the other hand, Also grew up on a farm but in Ma. and she LOVED all that country stuff, she couldn't get enough of it.. lol

It's not extremely vintage, 1984 Jet 12x36 lathe.
I've got a little buyer's remorse after getting it home and messing around with it because it's in a little worse shape than I first thought. I need to level it in the worst way and get some twist out of the bed. It has a lot of taper on long cuts, the 3 jaw is worn out, and the change gears are noisy as hell. I've already had to make some emergency gear bushings for the tumbler gears. I also ditched the oem v-belts for the vibration free link belt setup and that helped vibration a tad.
The previous owner loved grease and lots of it, so I've been mostly cleaning more than actually using it so far.

If he loved grease, maybe wear isn’t terrible?
(Unless he used it on ways)
1) level
2) way oil
3) center tailstock
4) turn between centers for the taper, don’t trust 3 jaw
