Original Southbend belt tensioner


I purchased a Southbend belt tensioner from Frankie a few weeks back. This thing is awesome, Frankie tells me that this is an original casting that is similar to what would have been used on the factory floor (unlike the makeshift tensioner that is currently on my lathe).


Everything works and spins freely, only thing that it is missing is some fresh paint before switching over to the lathe.


Thats it, thats all you guys get at this time. I can't wait to show you all how the lathe actually turns out. Pictures on the way!

Stay tuned!
