Granville lathe identification

Welcome to the Forum Paul, have a look at this which should show you how to post photos.

someone can help me identify which model it is

This link may help you identify the model. Chuck is likely screwed on, if not bolted.

Have you looked at the lathes.co.uk site? There is quite a bit of information there on Granville lathes. You model looks as though it migh be a CSL with a few none standard parts. Granville chucks are usually screw on, the same size as Myfords with whom they share a number of similarities in the design.

If I understand you correctly the back of the mandrel has one or two plain collars which are screwed on but generally they are split and locked into place with an Allen headed screw. Once this is removed the gear attached to the mandrel can be seen to be locked into place with a grub screw driven down between the mandrel and the gear when this is removed the gear should pull off. I am basing this on how my Granville Major is assembled. Your model may be different so I would advise you to proceed slowly and cautiously in the dismantling of the lathe. Hope that helps.

Does the collar on the end screw up tight against the other? they appear to both have tommy bar holes in them, hold the inner one next to the gear and try to undo the outer one

They probably require a special c type of spanner
