Cool find. I have a friend who restores old steam farm equipment. Its amazing how heavy some of the old farming or milling equipment was. I see by the photo that this ran some sort of belt equipment.

Thank you yes it's pretty heavy. I had to roll it up hill about 200 yards back home to where it's sitting now. Was thinking of cleaning it up and selling it. I could only find a couple online for sale. If I can't sell it I will use it as yard ornament myself.

What I really think, is that it must have been pretty intense getting that thing home ! I am with the others. I'd use it as a lawn ornament somehow.

it rates very high in the cool factor. would also look very cool in front or inside some restaurants like a BBQ place. that thing was a hard working machine in its day.
