My father purchased this from a lumber store that was closing up. Presumably it was used when they got it.
15 hp direct drive motor and ball or roller bearings on the cutterhead with Babbitt bearings on slower shafts.
It's a well made machine, now 100 years later still very useable.
He had it installed and in use in a dedicated building for years, recently we pulled it out and took these pictures.
