Hardinge Lathe

[f350ca]

Yah Tom it has that motor, looks like the 10hp in my big lathe. Went to put the carriage on today, didn't have 20 weight oil so tried some compressor oil on the bed. When I started tightening up the apron it seized solid, washed it off and used 3 in 1 motor oil which it says is sae20, slid like glass. Those are tight tolerances, my friend who is a millwright was here, he couldn't believe that small a difference in viscosity would matter.
