Found this on Craigslist 10 miles from home. It was refurbished by the William h fields company probably in the 50s? The motor that was on it was painted and had noinformation on it. I re-poured the top wheel and drivewheel’s babbitt bearings. When I got it she spun so fast the whole top part of the casted with develope a harmonic shake, so I finally Got a free motor that spins at 1740rpm, and switched the pulleys out. Making a new table for it and trying to rig some carter guides to the lower end. Put new tires out and hand shaped the crown into them with a shinto rasp.
