It needs a lot of work, but they are fairly easy to work on.
The interesting thing about this one is....its got a Gorton Spring Collet holder sticking out of the spindle.
Spindle is stuck all the way up, so that needs to be addressed, but I was out in the not well lit back 40, and pulled the draw bolt..and a Gorton Spring collet fell out of the holder...which Ive never seen before. I dont know if thats the primary tool holder..or its an adapter stuck in the (unknown) spindle. If anything..it may be a B&S spindle nose..but..getting it out is going to be "interesting"
I checked the Gorton website
Anyone have any idea if such a beasty was built, with a Gorton Spring Collet spindle nose? It "looks" like an adapter sticking out of the ram..but I cant find any sort of release for the adapter.
The machine is pretty rough...been outside for a while....
Oh..I also got a 30 ton Carolina press. Shrug
