Looks like someone needs a line shaft. Welcome aboard.

That's the end goal, just need a bigger shop . Untill then I'm on the hunt for all flat belt machines and pulleys

Welcome from Vancouver! Nice collection of old iron, I’m jealous!

 

[red rose armory]

Thanks , it took alot of searching to find them and just as much to move and clean the years off of them

Welcome Aboard!

You are within spitting of me. And even closer to Matt-Aburg.

I am a farmer on Lake Erie south of Chatham. A few more around these parts and we might even be able to do our own meetup!

Very cool. Are you planning to do any casting?
