Picked up at a large farm auction. No known history before purchase. I just couldn't leave it for the scrapper. Plugged it in and it ran after I helped it a little. Capacitor is shot. Motor has a date of '55 on it. Head bearings shot along with the motor bearings. I'll be looking for a new head casting.
