It's got a gated Shifter! lol Tractor with front loader forks made short work of the loading. Unloading at home on the other hand had me feeling my 62 yrs..

Babbit bearings with oil caps?

Are they in good shape or are you going to redo them?

Was doing some reading last night. Do not think they are babbit. The manual said to add Vaseline to brass cups every couple weeks. I'm thinking the cups have springs sorta like a boat bearing buddy system.

Take look online at pics. Some have the motors as the head stock. Some have long beds center cast iron legs, really "pretty", for lack of a better term.
