Yates American Y20 "Snowflake". Serial # B-13717, 1939? 11-23-08.
Hey,
This is a terrific condition snowflake that I purchased from one of my machinery mentors. 1 coat of non original paint, pristine planer marks in the table, no breaks or repairs in the snowflakes and from the looks of it the motor has been rewound recently. The only thing we did was put new tires on and she runs smoooooth. I wasn't sure if the foot brake was original or not. But upon inspection it has a Volkswagen brake pad on it, so at least some of it is non original. The mounting holes in the casting sure look factory. I love the way these sound on startup!
