I bought this off a friend as a wreck. Stripped everything to bare metal using an electrolysis bath, wire brush and wire wheel. Primed and then painted. I built the pulley carriage to be adjustable to tension the leather drive belt. The motor is on a hinged mounting plate allowing gravity to tension that belt.
