Help identifying bench grinder

[Spr11]

Hey All, I recently found this bench grinder that looks very similar to a Baldor. However there are no baldor markings anywhere. Does anyone have an idea who manufactured this?

Maybe Milwaukee / Wissota?

Pretty sure that's a Baldor

Baldors don't have dual holes in the upper portion of the wheel cover.

Yup. It looks like a Baldor.

Maybe a Baldor 712R?

Baldors don't have dual holes in the upper portion of the wheel cover.

That was my first thought but maybe someone drilled and tapped those out.

The fact someone took off the power switch makes me think its been "well loved".

It is a Baldor. I have several. They are very expensive, here.

It’s a Baldor 862RE 8” 3/4HP 4.8Amps 3600RPM “Big Red” Model 115V/230V

The stickers on the back and base are a dead giveaway, but it looks like previous owner cut off the front of the wheel guards/covers.
