Now for the unpretty pictures. Everything is there, but this machine has been in a limestone basement for decades now. I wish I had the time now to dive into it, but I don't. Will be a true winter project.

For now this machine will remain "OFF". But soon this will need some attention, just like the dozens of others in the basement. Once I get the house buttoned up on the inside this late spring, and painting on the exterior completed this summer - I'll have more time to dive into the toys in the basement.

Speaking of basement. I'm never hauling one of these down to a basement without a power-assisted cart, ever again. 2nd that Cory?

Its a beautiful machine Ben. I'm sorry about the panel, but machine is so wonderful and sooner or later another one might show somewhere in the upper midwest and you will be able swap out those parts. Besides the real fun about the machine is what goes on behind that incredible round glass! When you look up Front Loader in the Dictionary, a Bendix should be in the picture.
 
WOW Ben, I am going to start paying more attention to fortune cookies!! I am so happy for you. You do have your work cut out for you boy but there are many on here that will be of great help to you!! Sorry about the glass but I have a feeling at some point you will find another one. Congratulations again!!!
