That's not a very big lathe. Like I said, I have a 9x40 south bend and the lathe itself weighs about 200 pounds. There is no comparison, weight wise to a little SB like that an a bigger lathe with quick change gear boxes an such. My newer 13x40 lathe weighs probably 1200 pounds. Don't know for sure, just know that I can lift the SB, I can even MOVE the other one and had to use m picker to place it. The bigger question in my mmd it how they are hanging those chucks on the wall. I'm doing a '31 DD right now and there is nothing in that wall that would hold those chucks. Of course, the wall board is not factory either so no telling what was done behind those for support.
