I am absolutely GREEN with envy!

That's great Jack.  It's a fine thing to rescue a machine like that from the scrappers.  Not to mention having a new metal muncher in your shop!

Excellent save Mad Jack.
I plan on making one myself but if I could find on like that I would get it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for all the great comments, there is nothing like getting the chance to save an old worker, and get to use them as they were meant to be used.  I've let about three big shapers go in good working order because they were too big for my shop at the time, and too big for me to move.  I wasn't about to let this one escape.  My first priority is getting it down to the bull gear, so the real repair can be done, and from there, it is a matter of cleaning off old paint, rust, and covering it up nice, and getting all the flat parts flat, and in line with each other.  Just got to get some work done, so I get to play again for a while! :headbang: mad jack

Nice find and great save!  :thumbup:

Now we are talking... This is being green... reuse and recycle :)
