Not sure how old this lathe is but seeing its a flat belt drive it is probably from the early 1900
The drive from the motor to the chuck is by a B.S.A. motor bike gearbox driving a flat belt which gives four speeds and a neutral (one up and three down on the leaver) the lathe has a back gear giving eight speeds in total The gear box itself is worth good money to an B.S.A. bike restorer.

I bought this lathe from a fellow model engineer about 15 years ago. And between us and a mate that used it to build his engine it has been instrumental in the building of three 4 scale traction engines and parts for two 6 scale traction engines plus many other projects.

Could lift the lathe onto your suitable trailer.

Its too big for a pallet
For its overall size and weight its machining capacity is very good as seen in the You-tube clips.
