Friend passed this on to me. Some notable observations: Gearbox has the A-15 short gear shaft running only through the one bushing in the outside of the gearbox. No A-16 gear shaft bearing present or anyplace for it to go. No A-78 gearbox bushing present. No A-27 head shaft spacer present. A-24 felt washer was not present. Gearbox is aluminum. A-42 table roll bearings have no bronze sleeves. Non-reinforced bearing cap ears. Table reinforcing ribs have the “X” pattern. No jack screws in the cutterhead. No grease seal at the infeed roller.
