PO got it from the widow of the man who used it. He never got around to restoring it, so now it's mine. He says it was working when he bought it. Some of the castings have been brazed. I think it's complete, but there have been some owner repairs over the years. The tires look pretty good. The lower guide thrust bearing looks wrong and the set screw to hold the upper guide bar looks shop made. I'm looking for the original color if anyone knows. Guessing it may have been green. The GE motor bearings feel loose, so I won't use it without a rebuild. It's only 1/2 HP, so I may look at a bigger motor instead. I'll post on OWWM when I get started, as I'm sure I'll have questions.
