Great job kevin!  I saw a bunch of rust in my way and you saw a new edger. It is all about attitudes!

Thanks

Anything can be fixed if you want one bad enough...

Thanks again..

You wouldn't happen to have another bunch of rust in your way, would you? Say, perhaps, a 1929 LaSalle Coupe? Just wonderin'.

I go lookin for more rust at the junkyard almost every day...
It's an addiction.

After following this thread, I suppose I should at least go look at mine.
It came with the mill but was loaned out and at a different location. A friend picked it up and hauled it back and stored it at his place a couple of years ago.
I really hadn't much interest in it, till this thread . lol

If needed I can put in touch with a person that sell new 12" 2" bore blades.
Kinda hard to find...
The unit was not hard to work on after I sanded the rust off all the shafts.

Grouch, not sure i would know one if i saw one.  But i will keep my eyes open.  Lol

Thanks

Today is really the first day I put it to good use...
Now I know why they put three grove pulleys on this machine.
Anything over 2" really slips the single belt that I have on it.
Gotta make a trip to the belt store.

How long does it take to change the with of cut for your finished boards?

Guess that would depend on how fast you could turn the crank...

Gotcha, I wasn't sure how they were ste up, figured you would have had a wheel chair motor or something on yours by now.

Hummmm......

Easy now, then you wuld have to put some kind of generator on the engine, no use having that unless you change the flywheel and install electric start, and so on and on.
