A little background on this machine,i found it on the second floor of one of the places where i worked a few years ago,it was in pretty bad shape,rusty with chipped paint and years of caked mud,the motor whas was broken and run aut was out of tolerance :(
But i liked it very much,wery solid machine,whis MT2 in quill and I knew that patience and hard work wins,after short negotiation it became my :ddb:
In one of my posts I have already asked who the manufacturer of this miracle, and here I found a sign from the old motor and it says that is made in Israel on the Rights of someone perhaps by Atlas or similar manufacturer,unfortunately the inscription erased and read the writing entirely not possible,but the sign is in the photo who can and will understand :scratch:
Let us turn to the photos is how it looked when I found it:
There is disasembled for transportation:
And this is in my workshop:
Incidentally, I Know how much it weighs but two healthy men dragged it Stroud.
Continue the process of disassembly photos, flushing, replacement of bearings and cleaning of old paint:
Preparation for painting and installation of replacement bearings fiting the new motor,painting and assembling:
Hard for me took couple hours to write this post :bang:
