My dad picked this up in the 1970's. It was in his attic for years and was never used. My brother got it in 2010, mounted it on a bench and used it until he recently gave it to me in 2023. I tore it down, cleaned, painted and restored it. Fixed an issue with the blade tensioner, installed new tires and repaired the lower guide blocks. There is not much to it. Installed a 1/4 HP 1725 rpm capacitor start motor. Works well.
