Purchased this machine online about an Hour and a Half from Central Texas where I Live. Out feed shaft was bent slightly and one of the Gib screws had been broken off in the cutter head and ground flat. Replaced all brass bushings for gear box and polished and cleaned and repainted everything. Sharpened blades. Replace the bearings in the Babbit. Also replace motor bearings and adjusted starter switch slightly. Added a dust hood not pictured and not professional looking but works. Best I can tell this is a 1956 model. Has triangular supports under the bed and not the square pattern. Still needs belt guard. And I also manufactured my own dust cover for the open hole where the infeed roller enters the gear box.
