Thanks for the manual, I will read through it. Looks like there are a lot of things I can use to troubleshoot it with!

Well Ive been having a blast with my lathe. Kinda wonder how one lives with out one. Heres one of the latest projects, reding the clutch in the 582 cause the throw out bearing took a crap!

Great job with the lathe, Vince!

[BigMike]

That a boy Vince your loosing your balance right at the edge of the slippery slope.......you need a bigger lathe now dontcha?

[vince_o]

Yep Mike sure do. Jeff in Pa, dave K and a few others weve been talking about that. Dave had a BIG Cinci for me, but I didnt have the cash for it. Im really leaning towards the SB been seeing a lot of them on cl

The hot tub was a lot more than the lathe

That would be a good lathe

[l palma]

[vince_o]

LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeff in Pa]

Vince,
You get a bigger lathe and you can expand your horizons

I opened up the combustion chamber on a set of two stroke heads ( Kawasaki Triple. my other vice ) for a friend



I finally found a good use for a Champion sparkplug. I knocked out the porcelain and used it for a fixture

[vince_o]

Jeff that is so cool! I did this today, trying to see how things are made. I guess i need to learn how to harden steel. This is just a bearing from a idler off an exmark.

[vince_o]

Icant turn hardened steel, or if I can, i aint figured out how yet

[Jeff in Pa]

You will NOT be turning hardened steel on the little Atlas. That requires an extremely rigid machine.

[vince_o]

So do you think it will hold up not being hardned part? If you think it will Ill make one to fit, and add the grease fitting. Eather way it was fun making it!

[vince_o]

Made this tonight. Jeff much nicer with the tool holder you sent me. My taper is off ant its a little shorter than the orignal one, but its what I had on hand.

Hi Vince, that looks like a teaser cup for a 1050. I sure could use one. I picked up a 1050 po put in new clutch parts and a homeade pull rod with a big spring. He had it bound to the steering column pulling sideways and ground off a quarter inch of the trowout bearing and the teaser cup. Realease arm wore awful but i got it rewelded. I put a cast 3 speed in it, new TO bearing and some washers to make up for the ground up cup. The washers are a little big for my reweld arm and make some noise once in a while but it is working.

I dont know what drive shaft this is, but it works with the command in the 482. I did buy a spacer from Mid West to go on the fly wheel.

Looks pretty good Vince Good to hear that facing tool holder is working out for you.

Hey Vince, the teaser cup on a 1050 is a long one like your pic. A 582 is a short one. The drive shaft on a 1050 is a long one. I think that motor mount system for a 1050 is a little farther forward, which makes use of a long teaser cup. Mike
PS i posted this before i saw your message. I'll see if i can come up with a length,since the small part was ground away. I bought a 582 TO bearing from Zack Kerber, his doesn't have a grease fitting. Thanks Mike

[vince_o]

I didnt know they were differant lenghts

[mrbrown]

A 1050 is a bit odd, only made one year 1989. If you look at parts skems for 582 & 1050 you can see the difference. The alum trans in them is known for stripping gears. This one had bad clutch and stripped gears, but had a good 2 piece fine spline carrier and axels. Will help with rebuild costs. Mike

Well guys I picked up a larger lathe last week, a nice Sb 9 with a gear box. Its missing a few gears but I have a guy making some for me. I ran it under power nice and quiet and smooth!

Your having way too much fun Buddy!

[Klapatta]

I see a satin chrome dial. That would indicate one of two things
it is a replacement part or,
it was made in 1959 or later

I'm thinking about pickin me up a lathe. I don't have no thousand dollars to spend right now but I do have like 350. Is there a lathe I can get that is small but does a fine job and is quality built. . I just want to try one and see what I can break
