Picked up this little jem today....and damn it is heavy....from a neighbor. Logan 10×24, roads thawd out so I was finally able to get it in the garage. As old as it is the run out on the spindle is so small it might be 2/10 ths of a thousandth? Everything on it is tight, its just been sitting for the last 2 years. Clean up starts first thing tomorrow !
The motor housing and tooling is in the basement being to be cleaned.
Now I can start cutting my own pins etc.

Nice planer too!
 
Nice. I have owned many Logans, but they were/are 11" x 57" models. Still use one in manual mode and another one I converted to an 8-tool CNC gang lathe.

Had a Logan 12 by 36 for a while.
Sent me to the hospital twice with the headstock cover coming down on my hand.
Saw it crush my mentor fingernail as well.
Convert the whole thing to variable speed and be a lot safer .

You're not kidding about that headstck cover causing damage. It must weigh 25-30 lbs alone.

Both the 1157's I've kept have under-mount motors, and the headstock covers on those doesn't really weigh much at all. The last out-back motor Logan I owned had the hand crusher lid, but I added a cable & counter weigh system. Also, since it used a flat belt drive I add a brake system using a heavy fiber-reinforced flat belt and a flexible cable foot pedal so it had a foot brake. Loved that beast, but sold it after I finished my gang-tool lathe.
