Comments:

Found Sitting in a driveway in Hamilton, Ontario.
Was covered until recently - 4 knife square cutterhead still spins freely.
Machine has been abused over the years, based on cracked and broken castings.
Has obviously been modified over the years (feed mechanism etc...)
Marked THE CANT BROS CO OF GALT ONT CANADA on each end of the base, and THE CANT BROS CO OF GALT ONTARIO on the chip breaker.
Has a H.W. Petrie Limited Dealers tag on one side of machine.
Apparently could be for sale, so if you are interested in a major project I could find out for you!
