Oliver 2085, 5 Station Grinder, Serial #206018, 1981.
Hey,
This sort of an "after" post since I just had to tune this one up again. You can see the first post on this one here;

Just painted the base and buffed all the exposed metal parts and added a proper sized mobile base. I don't seem to use this one much but my favorite part is the leather stropping wheel. The 5 stations are; fine and coarse 2" wide cupped wheels in front, regular wheel and cone shaped wheel on the left side, and leather stop on the right. The cone wheel is pretty cool too, I've been told the cones are no longer available and I get a lot of e-mail about that. I was a little surprised when I took the grinding jig apart that there are Oliver part numbers stamped on every part of that. Nice jig for grinding flat tools, it works very well. These are great grinders!
