Hes had this posted in the Dayton CL for several months now. If he's expanded in listing area all the way to detroit Im sure hes willing to come down on price even more. It was originally listed for $500

That thing is cool! Looks as big as a tire machine.

Sent from Fred's iPad, now whether or not it was Fred is up for debate.

440 ruins it for me, otherwise I would drive over and load it in my car. John could probably get it in to the transmarobird or whatever he calls it.

Oh hell, not this again! Not when I'm at my most vulnerable!

I know you can fit it in there. Road Trip!

Hey, I resisted posted it here again even though its been relisted on CL every single week

seriously though, you could probably pick that thing up for close to scrap value maybe even less if you have a way to run it. Im sure that 440v is whats kept it from selling, that and the fact it weighs over 1000lbs

John laughs at 440.

Driving out to Dayton and dropping $350 on something I have nowhere to put, no time to fix and badly want is the hangup.

I already priced new wheels. Not bad at $300 each.

I've got a $10 on pictures of bringing it home in the transmarobird.

$30 if it rides in the passenger seat.

$100 if it sits on your lap.

At this point I think it should be called the "fire chicken" "transmarobird" sounds too manly.

Company, or a version of it, is still in business. Don't think they make anything this big anymore though...

Seems their range goes up to 20hp and 1900lbs, so the one you originally posted is just mediocre!

 

[ilovevocs]

This is only 30 minutes from me....Its really too big for my needs but its a cool old machine so that makes me want it regaurdless.

 

[jabberwoki]

If that was closer it would be in my garage.

That pathetic 2hp?!

 

[Vegaman_Dan]

I wonder how many minutes it takes to stop after cutting the power? WIth heavy wheels and an armature that size, you're talking about a lot of momentum built up.

 

[Cryptic1911]

what the hell would you ever grind with a 7.5hp grinder? I wonder if you could even hold up something that would need a grinder that powerful?

not that I don't want it.. but damn

The grinder that was posted with an arm would seem to be used for grinding tires for re-treads. I'm not sure about the rest, they seem too large to be practical

It was used in a tire company, it had rasp teeth grinding wheels.
