I'd love to see more is it 50 taper? Are you using Tapatalk, I think recently it's limited posts to one photo.

... like buying a motorbike and not knowing what cc it is. I will have a look-see when I’m next near the machine. As I have an interest in the Brisbane manufactured Mars products I bought the machine mainly as a collectable knowing zero about it.
No idea what Tapatalk is - I’m barely computer literate. My ability to load photos to this site seems to come and go - some days I can, other days I carn’t..

I've found that pics loaded via other sources than the forum, seem to be a hit and miss.
If they come from tapachat or what ever it is, I can't get to see them

No luck with the piccys at this time.
Will be putting the machine into me new shed early next year so will be able to do a bit of a look-see and tidy up of it then. Currently covered in inhibitor and under tarps outside at the moment.

Mars manufacturing must have been very capable at what they did. I did hear their lathes suffered high wear rates from soft cast iron. They also made diesel engines. There is one on youtube.
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

Morning @YBAF, what models of Mars lathes - just curious. I have a ‘Great Scott’ - had the bed re-ground.
