Comments:

Acquired from Whitehouse-Crawford Co in Walla Walla in 1988. They purchased it new. I have retained the tight/loose pulley and overhead driveline components associated with it. The machine was very well treated at Walla Walla and is missing no parts, no sign of major wrecks, and retains most of it's original wrenches. I run it from time to time. It does a particularly nice job when the detail is run on the bottom head. It does an adequate job with 8" material (siding) and detail on the top head. For the most part, however, it is best at up to half it's capacity.
