Got this 225lb bady at the 1/2006 Quartzsite Hit & Miss Engine and Tractor Show. Go looking for engines and this follows me home. This is the largest post drill in my collection and as luck would have it the accessory wagon wheel support bracket came with it. Missing, as usual, the crank handle and the wheel knobs. The base looks like it is the original and the challenge for me is to properly stabelize and restore it. The machine per se appears to be in good working order. What is interesting on this model is that it is conventional in its features but the layout is different with the auto feed wheel on the side and the second flywheel. It is two speed with the second crank handle location is in the side flywheel.
