>>MACHINE<<
Prairie belt driven 6" grinder with 3/4" steel shaft and 5/8"-11 threaded arbor ends.
Sealed 6203 ball bearings.
Cast iron frame, guards, and tool rest.
Chicago Die-Casting 2" pulley.
Wrinkle paint finish.
I don't believe the oversize machined steel arbor flanges are original.
Original grinding wheel face was either 1" or 1¼".
I don't believe the small horizontal tool rest is original (I think the originals were L-shaped that wrapped around the outer side each wheel).
