Some stats and stories.
I bought it at a local auction last week. Purchase price of $350.- Hired rigger on site to place it on local flatbed wrecker. As you see in first photo, we used the forklift to "Take some weight off" so the mill would not drop the last inch onto the ground at the shop. The forklift can not lift the mill. Once off the wrecker we used a hydraulic toe jack to get it onto the machnery skates. I can push it around myself now. I also got two cabinets of tooling and accessories with the mill. (cost more than the mill) I receently sold a divinging head that I got with the mill for $350.- Any way, it is home and I will sell my smaller Horizontal mill to make room for the new one

Stats

Weight listed in manual 4500 lbs
Current scrap value of Mill $450.-
Cost to move it $200.-
Cost of accesories and tooling $400

Value of owning such a beautiful piece of American cast Iron

Priceless
