Do not know the date of manufacture, but the last date on the patent bag is 1918. Flat belt drive, excellent shape, was in use when I bought it. Has a 4 knife cutter head, two speeds, currently has a 15 hp 3 phase motor on it. I would like to go back to flat belt drive, weighs about 4000 lbs. All babbitt with oil holes and grease cups.
