Taken out of the Western Machine Tool Works (Holland, MI) building just prior to the demolition of the building. Unfortunately, it was in a part of the building with a leaking roof so virtually every moving part was rusted solid. Everything was original (no one had attempted to convert to electric motor drive) so it fit well in the old shop and it was a great way to save a bit of the history - along with some of the line shaft and counter shafts - from that building. Works good, however, the only time it runs is when the grand kids put the line shaft in motion and drill holes in scrap wood.
