This is the same machine that is listed here: http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=6762

I acquired this machine from a gentleman in Woodbury, GA. He purchased it from the previous location at auction a few years ago. He decided it was time to downsize and I had been wanting one of these for a while. The motors are 5hp for each head and 3 hp for the feed. It has brushes that run on wood carriers at the end of the machine. It weighs 6300# per the scale on the PO's crane. (crated weight in a catalog says 7200#).
