I bought this from a guy who used it with his father in a small shop. It was in very good condition, with all the parts and a newer Balder 5hp motor. It has three blades and babbitt bearings. All in good shape.
The only thing I have done, is to make a new blade cover. I oil it each time I fire it up and it works like a dream. I had to up the circuit to 50 amps, because the (26 amp) motor was drawing so much in starting. But now it starts and gets going very fast. Not much fun wiring up with 8ga wire, though.

This was a very difficult move, in a garage, at the bottom of a steep driveway. I was able to back the moving truck down to the garage, but it was parked at a rather steep angle. We used the come-along to get it to the front of the moving van...
