>>HISTORY<<
September 2021:
NOS in original box, given to me by a very generous OWWMer.

January 2022:
Disassembled to check oil at bearings--found everything internally to be in new condition.

July 2022:
Replaced original hardened vinyl power cord.
Flag style spade connectors on power terminals and eyelet connector to lower through bolt for grounding.
Original manual and motor use guide booklet sustained moisture and heat damage.
Motor runs perfectly.

August 2022:
Attached Craftsman 2275 cast iron floating motor mount and connected to 113.66020 polishing head.
(2x4 block under motor eliminates excessive belt tension load on the sleeve bearings.)

September 2022:
Researched missing information and re-created the manual using MS PowerPoint for the diagram imbedded in a MS Word Document.
