I was not sure how many here that are queer on Oliver machinery had looked at Chuck Hess's shop in Maui. Thought you might want to take a look

I first encountered him on ebay many years ago. I found that the easiest way to find oliver things was to do a bidder search on ugamuga and see what he was currently winning. I finally connected the dots on the OWWM site last year. quite a collection.

That's only part of it . Chucks got a storage building to work on machinery before it goes into use.

great, actually inquired yesterday with you in mind, buddy had replaced heads on his PM 2A and got rid of old heads, sounds like you are hooked up

thanks for the thought dadude....
Tom will the heads from a 2A work on a Millbury?

The bore needs to be reduced .

ahhhhhhh what size is the bore.......but they are pretty much the same thing. knives and all ?

The PM head is a round nomenclature with sheer knives and as I remember a 1 3/16" bore.

are the knives from a Millbury head and PM head interchangable.....

Not even close. Whole different concept .

Yes at one point I had a PM SET for a few weeks and decided to sell it but for fun I made bushings to try the heads on my Millbury. Just sent you PM head pic's back channel.
