I had one little problem ,after I pressed in my bearings and put the arbor in I dropped the arbor bracket and broke the casting.:gar-Cr
fortunately I found one:gar-La; but it was not cheap.

Phillip, I never even fired it up when I got it home(I did here it run though)I just started to tear it down. It has the original 1 1/2HP repulsion/induction bullet motor that is getting an overhaul also.
Should be better than new when Im done

Not quite yet

I'm happy she found such a good and loving home! Not to mention enough room to move around and do stuff.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. These kind of old iron restorations are heartwarming.
