Bought the grinder locally without motor or stand. The motor had been sitting outside in s trash/burn pile and was given to me because it was in such bad shape. I cleaned up the old motor and made a platform to mount it on. After dressing the wheel I used it to sharpen my wood lathe tools and it worked great. The mothership has a 1949 Boice-Crane catalog with this grinder posted as the 1st item.
