Comments:

Acquired in eastern Ohio for $300. Sloppily painted at some point. Complete dissassembly, stripped and sand blasted. Left band wheels installed as the bearings and balance was outstanding. Motor appeared original, a Peerless Electric Co. from Warren, Ohio, as did the On/Off switch, an art deco Federal NOARK from New Jersey. Replaced tires with Urethane and bought 114 1/2" Timberwolf blades. Fitted a Woodhaven fence and will manufacture a blade guard. Replaced guides with ceramic. Sprayed the wheels and motor in International Harvester Red and the art deco ridges in blue. Mobile Base is from Rockler.
