CL find from a PO that purchased the Grindstone new in 1954. PO supplied the Delco Motor, wasn't sure if the motor came with the Grindstone in the day. He had a garage full of machines from the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's and explained that he usually bought the motors separate from the machines after purchase. Original paint on Grindstone in pretty good condition, I will leave as is. Thanks to fellow member Jim Johnson for identifying the Prairie Tool Company as the true manufacturer of the Grindstone and as their model G7.
