    Is there anyway to stop a leather belt from slipping on an old South Bend lathe

    I remember a cream we would put on our leather firefighter boots to waterproof them and it would create a surface grip that would've been perfect for your belt. Not sure which brand it was, would have worked if you want to keep it original with the leather belt.

    Replacement Cylinder Head

    Yes, to do the valves yourself. You would probably need to purchase a kit with the guides in it, but it's really not that tough to do. I'm sure you can find plenty on YouTube to show how.

    Replacement Cylinder Head

    Cost me a $150 to have a machine shop mill and magnaflux my head, I lath my valves and use an OEM head gasket. That has to be cheaper and better than what you're looking at.
