 Need Help Identifying This
The item resting on the wagon - any idea what it is? At first I thought it is a lathe - no tool rest and no jawed-chuck, nor the means to attach one. Knob in front provides lateral adjustment to mechanism in back - note grinding wheel on one end and drive pulley in back. Your help identifying this is appreciated.  |

looks like a wrist pin polisher or something similar, its an OD grinder of some kind. Grease cuts make it old probably 20's to 40's or older.

The face plate (on the pulley side) should have one or more cutouts in it for driving a lathe dog. Do a search on metal turning between centers. Only, instead of turning tools, this will grind the OD. Depending on setup/adjustments, you may be able to grind tapers. Depending on how beat up/worn out it is, it may only grind tapers.  Can the center be adjusted side to side on the tailstock? Do they currently line up together?
