How about you just not leave?
I don't have any idea what I'm really looking at, but the oil in the sight glass looks good, there's nothing that just LOOKS worn out, and the wiring appears new, which hopefully means somebody's been in there and using it relatively recently. Somebody that has a space for that beast needs to buy it.

Casey lent me a hand and got some old IFS hubs fixed up to wear some 4th gen rotors:
That lathe is crazy smooth. Awesome job with the resto!

@FJsapper Is there any way you could let me know what size the motor drive pulley is on your Bradford?
Somewhere along the way someone swapped what appears to be the motor and drive pulley for one that is too big. Now it rubs on the side cover. Also it is only a 2 rib pulley instead of a 3.
Thanks in advance!

I think it's 3.5" but i cant pull the cover off right now. A bigger motor pulley will increase your RPMs which is probably not a bad thing but you definitely don't want rubbing.

I really hate to ask, but you wouldn’t be willing to part with anything individually would you?

Sorry machine has been sent off to a good home!
That’s awesome! I’ve been keeping an eye out for a steady rest. That why I was asking. Great machine! Thanks again for your help and inspiration!

Scan ebay for "steady rest." You will likely never find anyone specifically selling a Bradford steady but there is a chance somebody throws one up without knowing what it is. There are lots of random steadys for sale where people dont know what machine they came off of. Also hit up Interplant Sales. They have boxes full of random steady rests and you may get lucky if you shoot them a picture.
