Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Went to Garage sale. Guess What?
New to me South bend 14 inch drill press with assorted drill bits.

Wow, nice find! That thing is a beast!

Niiice!

Very nice! The drill bits alone are probably worth more than what your paid for the whole thing...

I agree, There was a one complete set of HHS bits up to 1and over one inch. Total of probably 100 or more bits in all.
Gave two hundred (US) for all of it. Was a good deal for me and it is in good shape for its age. Bet it weighed 250-300 pounds with base plate.
One of the ony thing I like as well as Colt Case Ingersoll garden tractors is quality antique tools and tooling.

Last year I bought a nice lathe (Older)

Doublet (Terry)

What kind of lathe?

I have a 1941 South Bend Heavy 10 that I just love. I started with a 6" Atlas and traded up for a 12" Craftsman "Commercial" (made by Atlas) and then traded that up to the Heavy 10. The South Bend's swing is 2 inches smaller than the Craftsman, and its bed is a foot shorter. But it's twice the machine that the Craftsman was.

This is only picture I could find before I installed it in shop. I bought a phase converter and changed it from 3 phase to 115. I will get you some pictures of conversion box.

Started getting it installed and health started downhill. Hopefully In few months will get it all installed and running. Lathe a there and works great, just needs TLC and a good clean up.

13" by 7 feet? Stop it. You're making me drool!

That's a serious drill press! Very nice addition to your shop I'm sure!

@Doublet Terry , those are some serious machines . I hope you get to use them soon .
