I found this on craigslist, outside Harrisburg PA. The seller and I disassembled it, loaded it into my Honda Pilot for the hour drive home. We had to use an engine hoist to get the base into the car. I estimate the total weight to be about 800 pounds. There is a plate on it that says "Rebuilt by Hermance Machine Company Williamsport PA 1-15-29.

I stripped it down to mostly bare metal, painted it, and put it back together.

Babbitt Bearings in great shape, so no need to replace them. 3 blade cutterhead, blades sharpened by a local place, leaves a nice finish.

The beds measure a total of 74 inches long and it's quite heavy.
