Oliver #66 -AC Heavy Gap Bed Lathe, Serial # 54309, 1942. 4-26-2011

Hey,
This was our first #66 and is one I never posted before, I guess because the mother ship was down for quite a while back then.
Some of you might remember this post from 3-7-2008 when we picked up this beauty;

That was a killer trip and like I said our first big lathe. It was in rough shape from improper storage (under blue tarp out in the really big shed) but was a good candidate for restoration because the machine had a lot to offer and had quite a few accessories with it. We wound up passing this one on to a friend because I really had my hands full building a new shop and setting up a new shop, at the time. I kind of regret not being the one to restore this lathe, I had the vision but not the time.
