[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3344958, member: 3099"] Yea, I needed one of these and the price was right! I think it was setting outside for a time before being put on the trash pile Darren snatched it off of. It needs some TLC for sure, mostly rust on the steel lift bolts and all the screws. The feed roller chains were absolutely packed with chips when I took the cover off, I hope the drive gear in the motor housing isn't stripped, but they are in fine shape otherwise. The lift screw chains were basically pristine too. The four support/guide rods had bad rusting in spots. They got cleaned up and oxpho blued. The head was jammed on them and it took some kroil and awhile to get it worked free and to where it would lift up at all much less all the way due to the rust and grunge in the threads. It's like they never cleaned it and just chucked it when it jammed and they broke the handle trying. The base got a hard cleaning with full strength simple green and has a new coat of paint but I didn't sand out the pitting, I figure it needs to keep some of the character like an old gun. :D [/QUOTE]
