Picked this up from Facebook Marketplace. It worked like a champ from the get-go. I disassembled it down to the last nut and bolt, sandblasted it, painted it Hammered Gray, and added decals. I converted the open bearings to sealed bearings, so no grease is required. I used all the original nuts and bolts, but plan to go with stainless steel. It's missing what I suspect are the shields and mounting brackets, not much info out there.
