Dave, your right about it working being the main thing, I got this machine off of an old guy that had it sitting in a pasture covered up with a rat eaten plastic tarp, it had been sitting there for like 4 years the thing that totally supprised me was non of the slides were froze up with rust. Granted I didn't help its condition by letting it sit in my drive way for as long as I did, but it wasn't until this summer that I ended up with a power source that would run it. I know the 5 HP gas engine is probably on the slow side as the electric motor that was on it when I brought it home is rated at 1750 RPM, but I have lots of time for it to do its thing.
Now to get off of here and go pull the intermediate shaft out so I can fit a set collar on it to stop it from sliding sideways.
