Comments:

Purchased in October of 2020 for $200. My first vintage machine purchase. The one to start them all.

Belonged to the owner's grandfather. Had not been used in many years. Came complete with everything original including the base and the belt guard (not shown). Gearbox and cutter head were in great shape.
Came with a 2HP Baldor motor that was 3 Phase!! Ended up selling the motor. Didn't want to invest in a VFD.
Bought a used 2HP Dayton Farm Duty motor in great shape.
Changed out the grease bearings for sealed ones.
Cleaned, painted, electrical, done.

My first restore. Learned a lot. Took about 2 months I think.
