Baldor grinder.

What are the tell tale signs of a Baldor?

 

[tool_scrounge]

Notched corners on the base for the bolt down screw holes.
Shape of the cast iron wheel cover protrusion for shaft clearance
Power switch guards on both sides of switch

Baldor with 8 inch wheels = Score!

Yes it’s 8” with the stand but was wondering if there’sa way to tell model number? I’d like to restore it. Paid 100 for it

BTW - that's a high compliment around this place.

I agree 200% with torqueman.
The stand alone is worth more than $100

Nice! I've been looking for one of those for awhile.

Now that we all see the emblem on the front of the stand, we can all see “Baldor”
For some reason, the OP didn’t include the long view on his first pic which only showed the grinder itself. That’s why I asked and quickly got the answers from tool_scrounge.

I forgot I had the picture with the stand I, I figured it was a baldor but was just interested to find out any more like the model/ how to determine rpm ect
